Glasses

[Barmaid]

I've been telling Mr BM for ages that he needs to get his eyes tested. He's OK at distances, but can't read stuff close up (eg at a carol concert on Sunday in candlelight, he was having real difficulty reading the words). I also noticed earlier he was struggling to read some small print on some instructions.

I know you can just buy glasses, but what sort do I need for reading? Is it long sight or short sight?

He WILL get his eyes tested, but as a short term fix what glasses can I buy him?

When my sight began to bother me a few years ago I went to Boots opticians and after a thorough examination was told I had cataracts in both eyes. I was referred to the local hospital and I now have plastic lens implants; my sight is now better than at any time in my life! Get it checked out ~ many opticians offer free tests.
