Reading matter

Nicely "framed" =D

Great composition.

Thanks a lot, Sami! Actually, I take off my spectacles for reading;-)

I also have myopia. Although my glasses should work also on close distance, I often take the glasses off to read for example texts on a mobile phone.

Same here, reading at close distances without glasses is more comfortable but for working at the computer spectacles are a must.

Ok, let’s go? Where do we meet?

Hamburg next year, when it's safe again! Or somewhere in Norway or Iceland;-)

Hope so, for both places !

Allerdings!
Schönes Makro!

Vielen Dank, Berny! Zum Glück sieht man in Mono nicht so sehr, wie dreckig die Brille ist, dabei hatte ich sie extra geputzt;-)

Lisbon would not be a good destination right now !!!!

Obrigada, Isabel! Reykjavík would definitely be preferable....

gut!

Schönen Dank, bk!

Feine Nahaufnahme !

Großen Dank, Ulrich!

Very nicely done Gudrun. A neat shot.

Thanks very much, Rosa! Amusing myself with indoor stuff;-)

A successful close-up!

Besten Dank, cammino!

Love this. Great framing indeed

Thank you so much, Jan!

For some reason the 'splodges' remind me of bacteria colonies on a petri dish. ;-)
These days I have to wear glasses for almost everything, so I use vartifocals..

Thanks a lot, Amelia! I was -as always- amazed at how many splodges turn up with macros;-) Some are down to reflections from the lamp, many to dirt I didn't see...
Yes, I also use varifocals most of the time but still take them off for reading and I have special glasses for computer work which are set to a slightly different distance.

3 years ago, fed up with the inconvenience of spectacles, varifocals for everyday but a second solar pair because where I live you dont go out without them, another pair to read because reading a long time with varifocals is not comfortable... I decided to have implants.
It is amazing, I can see from far away to close and the smallest details.
Inconvenients: eyes are dryer than they used to be, so I have to put drops on them many times a day.
The first year it requires some adaption to flare in the night, you have the same problem than with varifocals, in fact your eyes are equipped with varifocals but inner ones. But brain adapts and now I don't even notice.
It was expensive because the insurance just paid a small part, but 3 years after I would have spent more with the spectacle's lenses, so I am saving money now!

This must be such a big relief for you!
I'm not sure an operation would work with my eyes, I have quite pronounced astigmatism which also needs correcting plus my eyesight keeps changing. Anyway, I'm so used to wearing glasses it's not really inconvenient. Sunglasses thankfully aren't needed as often as in Portugal:-)

Klasse - eine ganz spezielle Einstellung.
