Do You Need Glasses?

Post by Chris_H_2 »

I'm getting old. It took me awhile to admit it. I think the tipping point was having to hold things further and further away from my eyes to read.

I've always had 20/20 vision. But then about a year ago, my wife bought me readers. And now, here I am: old, wearing readers on public transportation, and generally not giving a shit.

Do you wear glasses? Do you need to?

i've been wearing glasses for over 20 years now, but mostly for distance. my lenses are half and half, so readers are built in.

Readers. OTC. They told me when I had my LASIK surgery in ‘04 that I would have to have them.

Yep. Had good eyesight growing up, but noticed 8 or so years ago they started to slip. I finally gave in and went for an exam in early 2019 and have an astigmatism. Been in glasses since

Same really. I’m not blind as a bat without them necessarily. I can drive fine as long as I don’t have to read signs from afar.
