I forgot . . . |

That happens to me every once in a while, where I'm thinking of something and it's right on the tip of my tongue but I can't quite remember. Sometimes I get it, sometimes I don't. It can be frustrating. I blame it on google. It makes it too easy to just look up something when we can't remember and then we get lazy.

and and umm well, there was something I was going to say, it was really important, but I simply can't things just don't stick if I don't write them down really quick, based on their real value to my life. It was a much-used saying from the past, that these #whippersnappers just wouldn't understand. |

Something helpful I do is when I think of something I quickly send myself an email so I will remember it later. We all have our phones handy and it's just so easy to do.

When your optometrist says it is time for cataract surgery.
Been struggling with the night time driving, headlight glare is just miserable and the long distance vision is blurry. The glasses just aren't cutting it anymore even with new prescription.

Doctor indicated there are a couple of different procedures that can be done. Sounds like one is a hybrid lense that can correct the vision. Also heard it's a bit expensive and not always covered by insurance or in my case, Medicare.

I've worn glasses since I was 15. Now my vision is 20/25 and I hardly wear glasses. They have new lenses these days and I hear they work really well. The OP here, cmyx6go, had it done not too long ago. Maybe she'll chime in. Hope it's covered by your insurance. Good luck and let us know how it goes. PS - wearing glasses doesn't really bother me either but I like hardly needing them these days.

I have worn contact lenses for 30+ years for distance. As I got older, my close up vision started to go so my prescription got complicated. As they adjusted the close up vision, the distance suffered. I could have opted for glasses instead of lenses but the shallow bitch in me preferred contacts. Eventually I also needed readers. Anyway, I chose the surgery with the multifocal lens replacement. It cost me about $8K total for both eyes. Insurance only covered the surgery and the anesthesia. They did not cover the lenses. I can't find the breakout of what they actually paid. It must be home and not in my file here at work where it belongs. Results - The good - I no longer feel like I'm living in a grey world. There is more light getting into my eyes. The vision correction worked well. No more contacts and I only need readers if I'm reading something ridiculously small. The bad - Although the glare has reduced, I now see halos around lights at night. If I am approaching a traffic light, I see the green but it now has a green circle around the light. Same thing with headlights. The doctor said it would wear off after my brain adjusted to the change when I went for my first follow up visit. It has not. I just had a visit last week. Doctor said I was the first person ever to have this issue. My luck I guess. It's not debilitating, just annoying. If I had to do it all over again knowing the results, I'd probably still do it. I hope this helps. I will see if I can find how much insurance paid but obviously your plan will vary. I believe they pay for basic lenses but not the multifocal ones I chose.

I need her to be able to see and bark if any neighbors come out while I'm ditching her poo in their cans. She was a bit confused when I called her last night at the gas station. The covfefe was cold, and I didn't want the diesel truck to take it out on her that I had sat there for 10 minutes in front of the pump while she was checking out the greenery around the station.

Do they still require you to use hand signals when taking a road test?

https://dmv.ny.gov/about-dmv/chapter...-turns#mke-trn I have no idea if they still test on them as part of the road test, but suspect that the only hand signal known by kids today involves their middle finger and words that for some reason cause flashbacks to what soap tastes like.....
