Discussion: Eyeglasses and seeing the ball?

Thanks, All!

I'm seriously thinking of getting single vision or "reblended" lenses next spring. Maybe the polycarbonate lenses would be a good idea - I pitch and have been dusted off before. That losing the ball about 3/4 the way from the pitching machine really hits home. That's exactly my experience. Maybe I could lower the line for close vision or just go single vision, cuz I can see the ball (I think) well enough to field with just the top part of my glasses and I can read the print on this screen from 3'. I bet the optometrist would be able to adjust the close vision.

I'm curious if anyone's tryed radial keratotomy or lasix?

Discussion: Eyeglasses and seeing the ball?

I'm curious if anyone has any wisdom to share on eyeglasses, particularly with respect to seeing the pitched ball. I've got blended focus lenses which means the bottom parts are set for reading and the tops are for distance. In between is for seeing somewhere in the middle range.

As far as I know, everyone's eyes lose the abilitiy to focus after 55. I'm 62 and I think part of my batting problems are with vision.

I've thought of single focus glasses for batting and shifting to the variables when in the field. Has anyone else come up with a solution? BTW - I'm not wild about lasix for reasons of cost mostly. What are your thoughts?
