How to See Without Glasses.... In a Pinch

It works for me. Squinting seems to work just as well (or almost as well).

Been doing this for a long time, since I was a kid. Always been rough on glasses too.

I take a photo with my iPhone and then blow it up where I can see.

Great tip OP!

Look into Lutein supplement for reversing age related vision problems, or Astaxanthin (supposed to be 5X more effective than Lutein.

I KNOW Lutein works and doesn't take long to 'see' results, just started trying Astaxanthin yesterday.

Since old age hit, hubby and I have been using "dollar store" reading glasses. We went to a fancy store for eye glasses, and asked the eye doc if using dollar store reading glasses could damage the eyes, and if they would sell us "more expensive" "non-damaging" reading glasses. He said to carry on with dollar store eye glasses, none better.

Could be a conspiracy, or they were just terrible salespeople.

Thanks for the tip OP, with the memory going too, sometimes forget to take the glasses INTO the store for shopping

Huh. Isn't that something

I have a pair of these, works on the same concept - supposed to exercise the eyes to help the vision but they were hard on my eyes after a while - they are supposed to improve the vision with time by giving all the focusing muscles a rest, I suppose:

I do it all the time, nowadays. I used to think I would never have to wear glasses, then I hit 40 and I was laying in bed trying to read a book and my arms weren't long enough Now I'll be 50 next year and they haven't gotten any worse really but they haven't gotten any better either so you guessed it

Your story sound a lot like mine. I starting buying cheap reading glasses and find that they are helping.


Give it shot..
