Reading glasses

[Ogre]

I use reading glasses (or supposed to) and I have to take them off when I put what I am reading down. My eyes cant focus through the glasses for distance.

I had cataract surgery in both eyes a few months ago. I was literally going blind. I now have 20/13 vision in both eyes. It was a true miracle. The drawback to monofocal replacement lens is seeing detail up close. I can read this computer screen clear as a bell from 2 ft. At one foot, letters are fuzzy and starting to double. I wear 1.25 reading glasses at those short distance and everything pops back in. Not a bad trade-off. Eyesight was PERFECT until I hit 40.

And then it drops off a cliff, seemingly overnight you can't see anything close.
I have let mine slip to the point where I really need a set of 1.0s to feel totally secure behind the wheel.
Still have not seen the opthamolgist, and like any panicked 40+ person, I have the house covered in
reading glasses, never wanting to be without the lifesaving lenses when I have to read something.
I told my mother the other day, I went into the bathroom and there were FOUR PAIR sitting on the sink
alone. : confused:
