Cheaters!

shag · #1 10-04-2015, 04:13 PM

I put it off as long as I could...but 3 years ago I turned 40, and just as I warned my eyes would soon need these cheaters! Seems pretty common for the eyes to have to start pulling the books farther from the face after 40....
I just hate that. Always had great eyesight, but those days are behind me I guess...time for some reading specs

That happen to anyone else when U ever hit your 40's?

My wife says its from staring at this tiny smartphone for hours...she's probly right

Solomon talked about us....

Ecc 12:3 In the day when the keepers of the house shall tremble, and the strong men shall bow themselves, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those that look out of the windows be darkened,

I got glasses about two years ago (I was 45). I have astigmatism but I've always put up with it. I started having trouble seeing up close so I got reading glasses. Looking down at my Bible and then taking them off to see the preacher got old pretty quick. I already needed glasses for the astigmatism, so I broke down and got bifocals. I didn't have eye insurance so I got the cheapest I could. They have a line between the two lenses. I completely hate the line so I added the insurance and got glasses without the line. They took some time to get used to.Everything skews on the edges. If I have a headache they can make me motion sick and dizzy. I rarely have a problem and I don't plan to go back to the set with a line.

What size font do you use in your Bible?

i'm 53, and have managed to put off glasses with carotenoids, vitamin A compounds. Still have to limit my screen time tho.

22 days till I get cheaters I guess. That's when I go over the hill.

I have had to wear reading glasses for several years now. For the most part it is just reading and computer work.
I had 20/20 vision most my life, notice my eye site was going 10 years ago when I struggled to thread a sewing needle, something I could focus on the smallest things.
