FABS AND CAL

AN ALL THE FLATULENT SENIORS AND OTHER FOLKS WITH EYE PROBLEMS. TWO THINGS I FOUND THAT WORKED FOR ME.

1. TRIFOCALS. VERY HANDY AT THE COMPUTER. THE TOP LENS IS TOO WEAK AND THE BOTTOM LENS YOU HAVE TO KEEP TILTING YOUR HEAD BACK. THIS PHENOMENON CAUSES NECK MUSCLE AND SHOULDER STRAIN. AFTER A SHORT TIME YOU FEEL LIKE SOMEBODY BEAT YA WITH A BALL BAT. YOUR OPTICIAN CAN FIGURE A LENS STRENGTH THAT WILL SOLVE THAT PROBLEM. WHILE YOU ARE TWISTING HIS ARM ABOUT THAT PROBLEM GET HIM TO WRITE A PRESCRIPTION FOR THE MIDDLE LENS AND HAVE A PAIR OF GLASSES MADE JUST FOR THEM. YOU WILL NOW BE ABLE TO SEE YOUR SIGHTS IN THE CORRECT PERIPHERY AND YOUR TARGET WILL BE IN THE PROPER PERSPECTIVE FOR TARGET SHOOTING.

ANOTHER ITEM THAT HELPED ME WAS THE FARSIGHT OPTICAL DISK FROM BROWNELLS. LYMAN ALSO MAKES AN OPTIC AID CALLED THE HAWKEYE SHOOTERS OPTIC AID. BOTH OF THESE PRODUCTS ALLOW YOU TO SHOOT WITH BOTH EYES OPEN, WHICH IS THE PROPER WAY TO SHOOT BY THE WAY. WHAT THEY ACCOMPLISH IS NOT LETTING ONE EYE TAKE OVER FOR THE OTHER. IE: IF ONE EYE IS STRONGER THAN THE IT WILL TRY TO MAKE UP FOR THE INADEQUACY OF THE WEAK EYE. THE HUMAN BODY NEVER CEASES TO AMAZE ME.

NO I AM NOT AN OPTICIAN NOR A DOCTOR, I'M JUST AN OLD GUY THATS PUSHING 70 THAT KEPT BOTHERING THE PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED PEOPLE UNTIL I GOT ANSWERS TO MY PROBLEMS.

HOPE YOU ALL WERE ABLE TO GLEAN SOMETHING FROM THIS. SOMETIMES I DON'T DO WELL IN EXPLAINING THINGS IN TECHNICAL TERMS.
