All I know is that I needed glasses for a while now.

If you can't go to the eye doctor, go on ebay and get a pair of +1 diopter and a pair of -1 then see which one helps. Buy 1.5s next and keep going if you need to.

About $15 each from China if you need negative diopters for distance, reading glasses (+ diopters) are much more common and cheaper.

I'm pretty sure I saw what seems to be an optometry clinic when I was at walmart last year

Idk if that's just a test thing, or an established service.

If you can't go to the eye doctor
, then go to the nearest optical shop and check your eyesight for free.

(...)Whereas back then I wrote about the tyranny of the majority, today I'd combine that with the tyranny of the minorities. These days, you have to be careful of both. They both want to control you. The first group, by making you do the same thing over and over again. The second group is indicated by the letters I get from the Vassar girls who want me to put more women's lib in The Martian Chronicles, or from blacks who want more black people in Dandelion Wine.
I say to both bunches, Whether you're a majority or minority, bug off! To hell with anybody who wants to tell me what to write. Their society breaks down into subsections of minorities who then, in effect, burn books by banning them. All this political correctness that's rampant on campuses is b.s.

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

Wal-Mart and other places will do it about as cheap as it can go, but you are sure to be over $100 with exam, frames, and lenses if you do not have insurance. Or multiples of that if you like stylish frames and need complicated lenses.

-4.25 in each eye. So sick of contacts.

If I ever got lost in the woods without eye support I would die.

I carry a pair of glasses at all times. "especially" when I'm wearing contacts.

Ive got 20/20 they said but I have glasses i use while at the computer that have the solar or whatever to help w the bright lighting of the screen. It is suppose to make my eyes not hurt as much. But i feel my eyes are getting worse the more im on the computer. Also told me to take breaks every half hour and focus on something else.
