I am officially old
I just ordered my first set of bifocals this week.:facepalm:
|
No bifocals, I wear contacts most of the time, but I'm needing reading glasses now too. Close up vision seemed to start deteriorating the same day I turned 40. Now at 44 I bought a cheap pair of reading glasses.
Ear hair, weird pube-like eyebrow hairs and huge gray nostril hairs are starting to show up too. Fun huh? |
ive been wearing glasses for past 3 years or so and they are pretty intense. you are not old, you are just tired!

I wear my glasses for work, PC, and depending on how fuzzy the cones are, sometimes auto cross LOL.
I know I need a new perscription too. I did a series of photos and they all looked a little fuzzy. So I tweeked the focus on them in Capture NX, all my friends said the pictures were beyond crisp in focus. :( |
i had a problem of fitting my glasses under a full-face helmet. the only solution i could find was this: MYKITA - Products - Collection No.1
|
That's interesting. I've worn glasses for years, and had no problem with my Shoei full-face helmet. Obviously you have to take off the glasses, put on the helmet, and then put the glasses back on.

but its very uncomfortable

Never had a problem with glasses or sunglasses under a helmet. I've been wear oakley glasses and sunglasses for a long time now, maybe this helps.
http://mi.oakley.com/images/catalog/...jpg?1210874430 http://mi.oakley.com/images/catalog/...jpg?1172552041 At 37 I'm on the verge of needing reading glasses too :( I wear contacts now, but have trouble with anything close up, if I'm wearing glasses I just look over or under to read close up stuff. Not possible for contacts. I'm considering getting laser surgery, would still have to wear reading glasses ... but a least I wouldn't have to wear the contacts anymore. |
I wish I could get lasik or the implantable contacts but my astigmatism is too bad. I'm 42 and it just started deteriorating in the last year. Having a hard time with small print on packaging or parts. Can't read the .020" increments on a machinist's scale anymore. That's the one that really bothered me.

I've gotton to the point where I cannot read my odometer or my watch without cheaters. I finially got prescription glasses and sunglasses even though the distance correction is so minor, I can pass my DL test without glasses.
I just got tired of always putting them on to read anything. |
Bah! I've been dealing with progressive vision loss for decades.
It was getting an eMail from a High School chum, telling me his son was starting Basic training earlier this month that made me feel old... - L |

Whoops, I meant TNG. I get them mixed up.

I must be getting younger. I failed the DC license eye test without my glasses but a few years later when I moved to virginia, I passed the eye test without the glasses. win.
