Gah--I need new glasses...can't afford to have my eyes done. Can't see small print any longer, and dim light...forget it.
Now, that's the strange thing about my marginal night blindness...I'm actually better able to see in the relative dark, than I can see in dim-low light conditions. Turn out the lights at night, and within seconds I can manage just fine. Put me in a dimly lit hallway or something of that nature...blind as a bat--and I do mean, blind. As in totally. It only lasts for less than 30 seconds, as a rule, and I've learned to cope, still...that doesn't bother me half as much as not being able to see what I'm typing.
Sometimes I can magnify the print...but sometimes I can't, and...bugger! It's frustrating, realizing that you've messed up your lead or something that you've typed, with a stupid mistake.
Oh well, my great gran was completely blind, apparently, and my great Aunt Mary, as well. My dad's mum was a deaf mute, so who am I to fuss over a little inconvenience?




My eyes have suddenly gotten weaker. Given my age I feel fortunate that I'm still only needing readers occasionaly, but that occasional is going to move to all the time soon I think.
