Hello everybody, my name is Coach Shane and welcome to Easy English Expressions.
Come on, let's master English.
Hello everybody, welcome back to Daily Easy English Expression, the podcast.
Coach Shane, here today we have number 1151.
This is such a great expression.
You know i wear glasses.
Do you wear glasses or contact lenses?
Did you have the lasix surgery?
Yeah, i never.
I i wear glasses.
I don't mind wearing glasses, but i wish my eyes We're perfect.
Do you have perfect vision?
I'm so jealous to wake up in the morning and be able to see the clock, to drive at night and daytime without glasses, to read books and to sit in a movie theater and see the movie or at home, watch the TV.
I the little things are so precious.
If you have great vision, you're really lucky.
If you have great vision, you have today's expression.
Check it out.
Can you see without your glasses?
Not really.
My prescription is pretty strong.
So with glasses, you're fine, right?
Pretty much.
But even with, I'm not exactly 20-20.
You should go back to the eye doctor.
20-20.
Did you hear that?
2-0 slash 20.
2020.
That is what we say in America.
If you have perfect vision, 2020.
And I know in other countries you use different systems and yeah, I don't know.
I don't, I'm not an optometrist, which is an eye doctor.
I'm not an eye doctor.
I don't know why we say that, but 2020, that is what we say when you have perfect vision.
Are your eyes 2020?
Do you have 2020 vision?
Yeah, that's the idea.
Let's go over the dialogue.
Can you see without your glasses?
In my case, no, I can't.
I'm like almost blind.
So the guy says, not really.
My prescription is pretty strong.
Yes, that's what we say.
When you go to the eye doctor and they measure your eyesight, they give you a prescription and then they make the lenses right.
Well, I always get a prescription every year. but I have no idea what my numbers are.
It's like 4.0 and 6.2.
I have no idea.
So I actually don't know what my prescription is, but I do know I need glasses for everything for reading, for driving, and it's for the computer.
It's just terrible.
Then the guy asks, So with glasses, you're fine, right?
And in my case I actually have two pairs of glasses, one for the computer and then one for driving and reading.
Yeah, it's kind of crazy.
So my answer is pretty much.
Yeah, I'm pretty much fine.
Generally, I'm fine.
But even with but even with my glasses on.
I'm not exactly 2020.
My eyes seem to be getting worse every year.
So finally, the guy says, you should go back to the eye doctor.
So once again, eye doctor, we actually say optometrist, but most people just say eye doctor.
So all you need to know is eye doctor.
I'm telling you, you guys, if you have 2020, you are so lucky.
And I know people with glasses probably agree.
You know what's really crazy?
Some people with 2020 vision because they want to look really good, they want to be sexy, like me, they wear glasses anyway.
I wish I didn't have to wear glasses.
I worry about my two boys because my wife wears glasses and I wear glasses.
I hope they're able to never have to wear glasses.
That's something they should develop, more science.
Not the surgery, not the laser surgery, but they have to have something.
They have to develop something so that We no longer need glasses.
That would be great.
All right.
The weekend is here.
If you're listening to this, I'm recording this on Friday.
TGIF.
Thank God it's Friday.
I hope you have a fantastic weekend and check out the dialogue two more times.
And together, let's master English.
