Try having one pair of glasses for the long distance stuff and another for reading and the pooter. It becomes silly after a while, when you need to switch glasses all the time.
Or when you forget to switch glasses when you're supposed to drive somewhere.
I haven't reached that point yet, but, it's still frustrating to always have to keep a pair of reading glasses within reach at all times. In the stores it gets annoying, put them on so I can see what I'm buying, take them off so I can see where I'm going, over and over...
I've lost the ability to see fine details up close without some type of dioptre for magnification. My eyes still tested twenty/twenty in the summer, but I know I have also lost some downrange vision, over the years. I see more "chromo-smear" rainbows in the distance than ever before, due to my astigmatism becoming more severe.
Optometrist told me that it is normal for micro-calcification to occur within the lenses of the eyes and the muscles which control them, with age, causing each to respond more slowly or not at all. Any existing conditions (such as out-of-spherical shaped lenses, like mine) will become more of a problem.
Oh, yeah ...
Agreement.
The perfect smiley for this discussion.
