Random one but thought as we are all In the same boat with regular eye tests someone might know more than me!
Every check up it’s the same thing, first eye is fine no problems, but the other eye I can’t even see the top letter when doing the eye test, when they put the little glasses with holes thing on my visions perfect in both, so they always advise glasses- however I haven’t had a headache in as long as I can remember! And really have no problems reading/seeing anything far away unless I close my ‘good’ eye!
Will getting glasses prolong my sight does any one know? I really can’t think when I’d wear them as don’t really use computers/read or have any difficulty with anything sight related!
I did my research, used an ophthalmic surgeon not a high street optician and mine was just fine and still is. There are risks with any surgery of course and I went into it with my eyes open (so to speakGet glasses ... that's an obvious conclusion. If you can't read the major letter, then it MUST be corrected. Been there done that with specs and contacts for 55 years
DO NOT get laser surgery under ANY circumstances. A dear friend, professor and expert in the entire field in the United States told me horror stories of the things that can go wrong. NO, NO and NO.
This may sound harsh but I do not mean it that way. Why bother having your eyes tested at all if you are going to ignore the recommendations? Would you do this after a Retinopathy scan?

I went to Specsavers and they decided not to make me glasses with the correct 'prism' - in fact, no prism at all.
My brain stopped taking any notice of what I saw out of the weaker eye, my left eye, and I started to clip curbs and wander close to the hedges on country roads when driving.
When I had my next eye test, back at my proper optician, when my right eye was covered I could not see anything, then the greyness gradually dissipated. It took several months for my vision to return to normal.
The point is that you may or may not be seeing fine now because your eyes and your brain can compensate. Without addressing any potential problem you shorten the length of time that that you see well because should there be a problem it night prove to be one that can be fixed. Go get tested and then make decisions. Good luck.So to conclude.. I’ll book a proper eye test with an opticianstill feels very strange that I could need glasses even though I have no problems with seeing/reading anything! Thanks all
