If I need to read things much I wear my sports glasses that have a band around my head instead of arm around the ears...just raise them up onto my forehead. I wear contacts most of the time. Hang in there cathryn

I had Lasik surgery done about 12 years ago when I could not see the letters on my keyboard. Also it was a strange feeling riding a motorbike with bifocals when the wind starts to buffet the helmet, things got big and small in quick succession. Made for some interesting situations.

I make an annual visit to my eye doctor, have been doing this many years. Sight is precious and you can have things going on that you are unaware of that can have permanent impact on your vision. No reason not to get your eyes checked at least once a year. That gives you a history to compare to if something does start to change.
My arms got too short in my mid to late 40s. Reading glasses for a while but aggravating. Finally went progressive bifocals with transition lenses and wore them all waking hours. Cataracts formed slowly and monitored by the annual check ups. Pulled the plug to get them fixed while covid had a lot of what I enjoy shut down. One eye then the other 2 weeks later. The difference was amazing. No longer wearing glasses but do need some magnification on fine print in low light occasionally.
Still get my eyes checked every year.

I can't use readers. I've tried.
They give ma a headache..no matter the strength.
That's why I'm biting the bullet and going to the eye doc.

I had Lasik surgery about 20 years ago. I need cheaters to read, but have great long distance vision, 20/20 in both eyes. It doesn't bother me in the least to wear cheaters to read.
