I just had to put on my glasses because I have near-sightedness - anything in the distance is so blurry!  I can see fine up close though, thank goodness!
I wear glasses too, with progressive lenses. I hate wearing them.
I hear ya!  First time I got them I thought I was going to be sick!  I guess it's a hazard of getting old and needing multifocal lenses!
Yes, it was really hard to adjust. I really want Laser surgery to correct my vision. It scares me though.
Me too!  A sharp object in my eye?  I think not!  Unfortunately, uncorrected near sightedness can result in retinal detachment and cataracts - oh joy!
Wow! I didn't know that. Does that mean if you don't wear your glasses your retina could get detached? If that's the case, I won't complain about wearing them anymore.
No, I mean by not getting laser surgery to correct it - I'm afraid we're still stuck with the increased possibility of detached retinas! So  best to get an eye examination!
Oh, gotcha. So it's what am I afraid of more, the surgery or a detached retina. That's a hard decision.
Far-sightedness
Far-sightedness, also known as hyperopia, is a condition of the eye in which light is focused behind, instead of on, the retina. This results in close objects appearing blurry, while far objects may appear normal. As the condition worsens, objects at all distances may be blurry. Other symptoms may include headaches and eye strain. People may also experience accommodative dysfunction, binocular dysfunction, amblyopia, and strabismus.
The cause is an imperfection of the eyes. Often it occurs when the
