 Well for me anyway corrective lenses help me a lot more than a hearing aid
every did. :)

 Speaking of color and tone, what do you think of color tones? You
know those tests they give for color blindness? The spots with
different colors and you have to discern the number or letter 'hidden'
in the picture? Well I can do that. But for some strange reason the
last time I took it I had trouble with some tones..and so I got this
color blind label even though I can discern tones. Isn't that weird?

I have some trouble with black/navy blue/brown (as in sorting socks)
but when I compare I can tell the difference. Peach/coral is close too
and sometimes certain shades of green look blue to me under florescent
lighting. hmm. Anyone else have that problem? I have a feeling it's
not the color discrimination I have a problem with as much as what the
light level/type is.

 A scary thing. You've heard of the laser surgery? I found out it
isn't effective for all vision problems and even then the effect might
not last and is sometimes effected by humidity. Kinda risky!

BTW they should but don't tell you that photochomatic lenses lose
their tinting in sunlight powers after bout 2 years. :( I found some
clip on sunglasses though that fit my lenses. Yet I'm kinda peeved
about not having been told the extra expense of the photochromatic
effect wouldn't last.

 Yes it is and so far nobody else has been afflicted but ohhh I can
just 'hear' it when it does. They'll come telling me all about what
I've already been telling them for years...
