Editor's Notes
My vision is okay. The eye doctor says I really don’t need to have glasses.
I tell him I’d prefer seeing the leaves on the trees rather than a blob of green on a trunk. Reading has become another story in the last many months. I’ve been wearing “cheaters” for a while.
I ordered progressive no line bifocal sunglasses. My decision was predicated on that I could see where I was going with sharpness AND be able to read directions as necessary while driving. Doesn’t that seem logical?
My decision was predicated on that I could see where I was going with sharpness AND be able to read directions as necessary while driving.
My first experience with the sunglasses: It’s blurry on both left and right glances. As a car passes me, I glance and it’s blurry. How can that be safe? and makes my uneasy.
I go back in to the store, and with my logic, I’m thinking it’s a mistake.
Nope. They are made that way on purpose. The business practice of non-disclosure aside (and I’ll leave that nugget for the business bloggers), I have mused over this, what I would call Clarity issue, for some days.
I was not told that progressive lenses only offers a very small area of clear to-prescription vision.
I am advised I have to bend or move my head to keep things in focus. ~ Imagine that a moment. ~ Everything you want to see in focus you have to be “pointing” at it in the perfect way.
This experience got me to thinking about Clarity. Do I want clarity only with what is directly ahead of me? or would it be beneficial to have it on the periphery, too? Do I want to see what’s coming at me in clarity and awareness? or be surprised by it when it’s suddenly in focus - and maybe a bit too late to redirect?
~~ In contrast, when I wear my single vision distance glasses, it feels like the whole world has opened up for me. It is a visual delight. Everything is clear and sharp.
Moving to the physical world, it did indeed give me pause to wonder how many car accidents are a result of these lenses when it’s normal to have things out of focus.
It was recommended to me that I turn my head to see the car passing me - well, if I do that, my eyes are not seeing what’s directly in front of me, are they? (and let’s not even consider adding cell phone usage and texting as a distraction!)
The choice is to learn to live with the out of focus as normal OR god forbid a LINED bifocal (vanity) OR two separate pair of glasses (inconvenient). Interesting way for the Universe to show me how important Clarity is.
How many of us are walking around in a detached state buying into someone else’s definition of what’s good?
You do have choices. You can choose to see full spectrum or tunnel vision/limited selection. You can choose to go along with the masses or make your own decision based on your values.
How do you get clear? That’s another blog or two. Basic answer: get Quiet and Listen.
