It's a layout... that I worked hard on. ^_^

I'm not too bad... my optometrist says I have like... 20/60 in both eyes? (Stigmatism in the left =/)

Ah well... I'm better than most people I know

I'm at the level where Any of the letters below 200 are blurry as hell, but I manage to find my way around places and not do anything bad to myself.

I don't know what my prescription is as such to be able to tell you how bad my eyes are. they aren't too bad, I just can't see things that are further away very well now.

I wear my glasses more often than not now. Particularly driving.

Or, I imagine, if you have a blurry POS CRT.

LCDs FTW. (Enough TLAs for ya?)

Drag's Post #208

I'm nearsighted. It's not bad, but I need to wear glasses if I need particularly to use my eyes for long distances (like for driving, or seeing the whiteboard at class). However, my glasses prescription is badly outdated by 6 years; one of the lenses is really wrong now.

But if I'm using my computer, I usually don't need my glasses.

Even blurry POS CRTs? I could show you some if I still had them that would make your eyes bleed.

I still have mine. (Thankfully, it's no longer in use.)

So my tendency to wander away from the computer is also saving my eyesight. Nice to know. As for CRTs, yeah, my eyes hurt a bit after switching to LCD, but then my vision all of a sudden became much better. Apparently the CRT was damaging my vision, and by luck switching to an LCD prevented anything permanent. I can now read extremely small text from a foot away, and a good chunk of the eye chart from a good distance too. ____________________

I don't get much of a chance to wander away from the computer here.

You know, in a work unit with 12 people in it, only 4 don't wear glasses.

Holy crap that is funny.

Reminds me of my arcade where there is a sign that says "Wet Cemen" cause someone scratched off the last T.

I'm reminded of a handicap parking sign near the bank down the street. Someone put what looks like masking tape on the person's head to make it look like they're wearing a sombrero. I'm not sure why, but I crack up every time I see it.
