Yeah, at 40 my vision was all well and good both near and far. Although I wore glasses for distance vision At 42 I started to wonder why I couldn't see to read unless the light was bright. And the fonts are all TOO SMALL everywhere. My eye doctor tells me at my next exam that i needed BIFOCALS. Ahhhhh. I hated bifocals. Just didn't work for me at all. Had Lasik eye surgery at age 43 and was good without glasses at all for distance and could struggle through reading and see the computer screen OK until about age 46 when I admitted I needed glasses while on the computer. I'm still using the low power readers though. 1.25 power. Now at age 52 I am just starting to think I may need to step up to maybe 1.5 or 1.75's though as things are starting to get a little bit fuzzy again. Tough getting old. It does seem to help if I stay hydrated though. GK On 6/27/08, Darryl Collins <Darryl.Collins at coles.com.au> wrote: > > > Yo Man!! ;) > > hehehehe....
