    New glasses

    Due to increasing age, my myopia has reduced! Just got my new glasses with the weaker prescription. Everything suddenly seems much bigger.

    But can you remember where you put your glasses?

      Mad isn't it!!

      When I wear my contact lenses it's like stepping into the land of the giants, I have no idea why this happens as they are obviously the same strength.

        Contact lens prescriptions are usually a little bit less than glasses, because with the lenses being closer to the eye they don't need to refract light rays quite as much. Reading may be more difficult with contacts though, because contacts also don't minify things as much as glasses, at least with the negative lenses myopes use.

          Make the most of it. This is the false hope stage. From now one your eye mussels get weaker and between five and ten years you will need bifocals or varifocals.

            Tell me about it. I couldn't get on with them so I ended up with two pairs.
            How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

              This morning my regular hairdresser said my hair is getting thicker, and she's right.

                  As I get older I have more hair growing where I don't want it but less where I do.

                    Indeed. Much of the hair that was on my head appears to have migrated to my left shoulder. Has anyone else got one shoulder that is much hairier than the other?
