EEk! Another sign of growing older

[moondancer627 0]

I have been having eye problems and finally went to a good opthomologist today. She told me what I was expecting to hear, congratulations you are now old enough to wear Bifocals...

She fitted me with a pair of contact lenses though that work great!!!!, although I can see good close up now, now I can't see distance.

Pretty soon it's going to be false teeth and a walker LOL

I'm probably going to need them next time I change my glasses. I can read close up pretty well without my glasses, but with them on things are starting to get a little fuzzy for reading. I have been wearing glasses since 4th grade, so bifocals are really no big deal to me.

Welcome to the group! I got my first pair of biofocals 3 years ago. Yep, it's a sign of growing old. I pick up my new prescription next week - graduated bifocals which are pretty cool - you see close through the bottom third, middle distance through the center and distance through the top third. I highly recommend this approach. I've been wearing glasses since I was 8 years old as well.

Glasses? Not yet. Hair? Not much anymore. I guess that still means I'm getting older, eh?
