I have only recently started my second half of a century, and it was only 6 or 7 years ago that I had to accept bifocals when I could no longer read a printed page or (gasp!) work on a model kit! I have been very near-sighted since I was a kid, and seeing things up close was never a problem-in fact it was my best vision. Things were fine for a while, but my ever changing vision is leaving me again with the need for a new set of lenses. Reading is fine for me, as you don't need to bring a book that close, but detail work on the models is starting to be a problem. Lenses are expensive, esp. with the high index lenses needed for my vision (Those 2 pair for $99 are not for me as they usually do not apply to scripts over a certain strength) so as a temporary solution for the time being, I bought a cheap pair of reading glasses that I perch on the end of my nose in front of my regular glasses.....
God, I hope no one can see just how ridiculous I look!
**EDIT! I meant my second half century! I am an idiot!!!!!!***
