Do your eyes work properly, first thing ?

Just as a matter of interest.....
Does anyone else have problems reading text on the PC, first thing in the morning ?
I certainly do !

I thought Nosher was talking about "GRADING" his table, this morning.
What ?....How do you do that ?...Is this a wargaming phrase I haven't heard before ?
A re-read showed he was saying about his figures "GRACING" the table this evening.

I do but its because I had varifocal lenses fitted to a pair of glasses which have too small a lense area to cope. Later I put my contacts in and use off the shelf reading glasses which work much better.

Yes and here's what my optician said:

As you age, your lenses lose elasticity.  If you maintain a particular focus for any length of time and then switch focal length you will notice this more.  I suppose when you wake your eyes have relaxed and therefor, when you force to do something close up (computer screen) they take a while to respond.

I only know this because I thought I was starting to go blind

Yep. Definitely an age thing. I find I'm having to zoom in more to read posts at any time of the day. Although I have varifocals I still need to remove them when painting miniatures. This means I have to awkwardly bend my head down to see what I am doing, resulting in back ache and ultimately less incentive to paint.    (and ironically, probably encouraging me to spend more time on wargaming blogs and forums on the computer which can't be great for my eyesight either!). My wife bought me a magnifying glass on a stand - didn't like it. I'm thinking, do I invest in an optivisor(?) or a pair of reading glasses?  On the long list of the million other things I should be doing .......

  I will have to remember this,and use it as an excuse for my crap painting. "I painted it just after i got up, honest gov,so me eye's wern't quite right".

No. At the moment my eyesight is okay, though I do require my spectacles to give the words and letters sharp edges.
Would it help if we all wrote BIG?

Should be fine with this then!

I have double vision for anywhere from 30 secs to about 4 minutes every time I wake up. Despite brain scans and eye tests the medics seem to have no idea why.

Yes. Perfectly.

[getagrip]

Yes. Perfectly.

That's okay then!

Simple! 

Are you allowed to use those two words together on the forum?
