(OT... Sorta...) Vision Issues for Modelers

Francis X. Kranick, Jr. · 2004-04-08T19:34:24+00:00

I recently went to the eye doctor and explained I could see distances fine (w/ my glasses/contacts) but when doing close work, (modeling) it helps to remove my glasses as my eyes don't adjust too quickly to short distances. He's pushing me towards bifocals though I don't need glasses for close work. Am I looking at this the wrong way? (pun intended; sorry) I've worn glasses all my life and the bifocal contacts I'm trying are awful. Is there anyone who's got some insight (again, sorry!) or similar experiences? At 43, I thought I'd be too young for bifocals and the folks in the doc's office tell me it'll be a little bit of a transition to them. Right now, they just feel wrong... Thanks for any views (ugh!) you may have...Frank Kranick

I am 41 and starting to get tired eyes.

I have reading glasses I rarely use unless I get eye strain, best thing is plenty of light to get small irises - better depth of field

New procedure called CK is worth looking into
