..I only need to slide the glasses up or down my nose a little bit ..

Image of this auto-focus mechanism on your face tuning your glasses position so that you can see.

It is called a hand.

In fact, after many decades, the movement is so automatic that I don't notice I am doing it any more.

That is only 0.5 dioptre worse than the minimum standard for airline pilots.

Over 10 dipotres is classed as requiring 'complex' lenses, for which I got free eye tests, even before I qualified by age, and IIRC £12.50 towards the cost of a new pair of glasses.

What about the 48" waist which says you can't see your todger ?

"The UK.d-i-y newsgroup will, from now on, be transmitted in Braille ..."

Now double it by wearing contacts and lenses.

At least my wife will be able to read it out to me then - she works in a school for the blind. Rob

If you can point me in the direction of 1.74 lenses for -0.25 sph -9.75 cyl / -3.25 sph -5.50 cyl that cost £100 a pair I'll happily pay £100 for the info.

You will probably have to visit so that they can measure your face
