Life How is your vision?

I am 50 years old, and I had absolutely perfect vision for 47 of those years.

About 3 years ago I noticed that I had to adjust how far I held my nook from my face when reading. I went from being able to read very small print just inches away from my face, to needing to have whatever I was reading almost at arms length to be able to see it clearly.

It was kind of a gut punch because I assumed that I was always going to be one of those people who just never needed glasses. Now, I have to wear reading glasses to see anything within 2.5 feet, which includes my monitors at work.

If I forget my glasses when I go shopping for anything, like groceries, I am forced to deal with how absolutely useless I am without them. I have purchased sugar-free crap by accident on more than one occasion because I just couldn't read a single word on the product.

A universal truth is the fact that getting older FN sucks.
