Bit of an odd story, but if you wear progressive contacts, you might be interested. Also important, I spend my days on computers.
I've worn contacts since they were hard plastic. The first set of progressive soft contacts I got were life changing. Been trying to get back to that ever since.
See, the contact lens tech screwed up and gave me two distance (D) lenses instead of a distance and a near (N). It was perfect. I could see brilliantly.
Every doctor since has "fixed" the "mistake". 1/x
As a result, I have a drawer full of useless expensive contacts that I only use when I'm not working, reading or really planning to see.
Every appointment I carry all the previous prescriptions in, including the one that worked. Every time I had been told that's not right, blah blah blah.
This time, as Doogie Howzer is gearing up to tell me how contacts work and how that won't work, I said that any solution that didn't include me being able to read a monitor screen at 22" was a failure. 2/x
Doogie says, "Are you sure it's 22"?" I'm like "Would be weird to be that specific otherwise, wouldn't it? Though I suppose if I step back on the treadmill, it could be 24".
Doogie thinks. "So, arm length?"
Me: Pretty much.
It seems that is about the point at which you pass from Near to Distance vision. He puts me back in double distance lenses.
I can see to work. And all it took was someone listening to what I'd been saying all along and thinking it through.
I 💚 Dr. Doogie. 3/3
