So Dona (stupid question, but I’ve never had vision issues until now), do you have glasses with two different strength lenses that help you read? What are “readers”, those cheapy things one can buy at CVS off the shelf?
Yes, my lenses are different. And I have progressive lenses, which are bifocals where that old fashioned (middle-aged looking!! UGH) line doesn’t show. (so I have 4 perscriptions, one left distance, left near, and one right distance, one right near) And correct, that’s what readers are. Some people who start getting, ahem, prespiopia use readers. The stength levels start with +1.00 and go to +3.00. But they aren’t the greatest for your eyes, especially if your eyes are different.
ceos are paid by shareholders, wait till the govt pension obligations start coming due, kiss goodbye garbage collections, police/fire officers and education. All funds will be used for retirement.

I recently purchased stock in Waste Management, Inc. (WMI). Trading at a decent P/E multiple and good dividend. That investment was my long-term play on the soon-to-come outsourcing of a lot of government functions.
Cobble, seems similar to me, except the part about hitting 40…I have at least 15 years before that happens. 😉
The eye that now is having issues seeing things close up can see objects in the distance much clearer than the other eye. So I guess I have perfect vision still…when combining both eyes’ strengths. And I’m blind when I combine their weaknesses.
Donatella, if a hooters was nearby, it wouldn’t take much to get me to go there – ie I would even watch ice dancing cause the wings, beer, and waitress are big enough draw
Biff, Yes, I have a similar situation, one eye just changed quite a bit over the past two years. I waited quite while to visit my eye doc, but I noticed I could see the TV better than I could before with my reading glasses, and voila, the doc said one eye had changed quite a bit while the other hadn’t changed at all.
I’ve always work glasses or contacts, and once I hit 40 they seemed to change a LOT.
My left eye is super dominant, so that when both are open my right eye is more or less just transmitting the extreme peripherals. I really only see out of one eye.

“GOD I HAVE SO MANY PROBLEMS.”
Dona, it could be worse: you could be a $25MM a year CEO with lots of pressure.
