Years ago, when I first found myself in your current situation, I quickly decided that I couldn’t stand wearing glasses. My solution was to make an appointment with an eye doctor about trying contacts. He attempted to discourage me by saying that he had never had anyone start wearing contacts “at my age” and be successful. I was not easily deterred, so I made an appointment with a different eye doctor. She fitted me for the soft daily contacts that I wanted, and they have worked really well for many years. FYI - I have what is called a mono vision prescription (one eye is corrected for reading, and one eye is corrected for distance and my brain sorts it out).

Thank you. I needed that. Still chuckling (and really glad that you didn't buy any of the specs you modeled).

From age 0-49, I pretty much had X-Ray vision. I could see/read anything from any distance near or far. When I hit age 50, the walls that I used to see through became the walls that I ran into. Now I'm the guy in the restaurant who shows everybody at the table how he can turn his phone into a magnifying glass in order to read the menu. (Note: I only know how to do this because my wife showed me. She was sick of me borrowing her glasses.)
