    RE: The Reading Glasses Chronicles: Approaching 50 and dimming the Light

    It definitely sucks! I noticed a couple of years ago that I had to hold boxes further away from myself to read the MAC address or serial number on the label. Then my phone started to get pretty blurry at night when I was looking at it. I got a pair of reading glasses and that worked well. Now I have prescription progressive glasses for working on the computer in my office and for driving when it is dark out. It sucks! I used to have perfect eyes for decades. I was actually the only one in my family who didn't need glasses, so that was always something special to me. It's sad what age does to you.

      Guess we should be happy to find out what age does to us :) We had a debate at work yesterday, to get them via a prescription or not. In the second case I could recoupe some money from the insurance, but not worth the hassle for a $40 glasses.

        The ones I use at night on my phone are just cheap ones from the store. The driving ones and the computer ones are progressive lenses that split the difference between the two distances and are much more expensive. I wouldn't spend this kind of money just to tool around on my phone.
