Reading glasss.....be honest
« on: July 19, 2016, 01:28:29 PM »
Lately I find myself having trouble reading the small texts on jars and stuff at the supermarket...
And this week I noticed I need a bit more light reading magazines at night.

If you got reading glasses, ar what age did you start needing them ?    :-\

Eyesight was perfect until I hit 46.  Now I need reading glasses to read small print.  First noticed it when I was out eating dinner and could not see what was on my fork.

As long as you can read the numbers on the dumbbells and racks you don't need glasses.

I have been wearing glasses for the last 6 years. I have to where them all the time (for near and far). I am basically blind without them.

I don't have contact lenses because you have to touch your eyeball to take them in and out, and that sort of freaks me out.

I have a standard set of frames

Same here, right around 4 years ago (Im 50 now). Sort of just hit me one AM it seemed, I couldnt read my phone and needed them since then...
Things like that suck when you age. Still got a full head of dark brown hair at least  :P

I had lasik, which locked in my distance vision.  Suddenly I couldn't read labels or menus (except for Denny's).  Doc advised me to go to the dollar store and get a bunch of "readers" to put around the house.  I splurged on some $15 Foster Grant readers for my office.  Easy and cheap fix.

Have a pair of 1.75 I use when I'm sitting on the toilet reading the Sports page. Those baseball box scores did me in.

This.  Cheap ones - like 3/$9.99 @ TJMaxx   Always losing them which is why I won't bite the bullet and get a prescription.  Lost a pair at the park today, probably bending over to pick up doggie doo doo.  They give me a headache.  Eye Dr. said not a candidate for lasik or contacts (shape of eye??).    :-\
