I need a new handgun...lets talk guns today. :D

  1. Because with both eyes working together, I can manage 20/40…which is the legal limit.

    I have to get a medical every 2 years from work. But it’s always with the local medics in Africa. I’ve had the standardized eye chart memorized since I was in school (FELOPZD = 20/30, DEFPOTEC = 20/20).

    And if it was a different chart, I’ve got $20 that will get you a good test in Africa any day of the week. :D

    Nah that’s how I’ve always been able to manage. I can see everything, it’s just blurry.

    I only have problems with the “details”. I can see the car/bike in front of me, I can see the red light and stop sign, etc. I’m not going to run into anything, they are just blurry.

    I can see the car, I just can’t read the license plate. I can see the street sign, I just can’t read it until I’m right up on it.

    But like I said, they have always been bad. I didn’t know what I didn’t know. I thought nobody could read the street signs until they were right up on them.
     
  5. Hell, I’m even considering getting into some long range shooting now.

    Imagine how much faster you’d have been on track if you could actually have seen the brake markers without having to stop next to them to read them? :D

    Enjoy this honeymoon phase....cause we all know your OCD is going to catch up with your new found sight....

    Today, you're all excited about seeing the metal flake in the paint....tomorrow you're going to get tweaked that that flake is just a little too "disorderly" for your liking....:D

  18. It’s super weird. Everything is curved. Like when I’m looking at the countertop, it looks like it is curving up and facing me.

    The doc said it’s because with astigmatisms being in both eyes, my brain has adapted. She said images pass through my eyes curved, and my brain “knows” they aren’t curved, so it straightens them.

    She said if I could actually see the images as they pass through my eyes, everything would be curved to the left like a half moon.

    She said my whole life my brain has been taking images curved to the left, and straightening them.

    Now the glasses are straightening them, so my brain is taking straight images and curving them to the right.

    She said it would take about 2-3 weeks for my brain to adapt.

    So I’m trying to wear the glasses as much as I can, but it’s aggravating. My distance/depth perception for everything within arms reach is fucked up.

    But I have to take them off to mess with my phone or the computer, and I always will. I can see ok right in front of my face without glasses, and the glasses fuck that up.

    Knowing you love "the dot", you now have to purchase a NEW handgun (or one you may have buried in the safe) with iron sights only and practice with it before you add adornment such as you're used to. You're in a brave new world now. Shit...is that .44 mag you own a wheel gun?
