In a fortnight I'll be at the Darlington Blues festival with a bunch of folk that I went to school with. Last year I ended up being their text to speech device because they couldn't read the A5 sized program of events and they were incredulous that I could read the text without glasses. After the event drew to a close we went to a curry house and they were struggling with the menus. The waiter spotted their difficulties and reached underneath the bar and retrieved several pairs of reading glasses for them. Now that's what I call service.

I've worn glasses for distance for the past few years, I've had a few grey hairs for a while, my beard is getting greyer almost by the day, and I wear a hearing aid in my left ear.
Oh and BTW - I'm 41 years young
I'd best book my place in a retirement home now

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
Im not sure when I started going grey because I'm a blonde, and it takes longer to realise you're going grey, but I stared wearing reading glasses when I was around 53.

I needed glasses for short sightedness when I was 28. It was flipping weird when I first put them on as it messed with my depth perception - my brain associated newly in focus ground as being nearer than it was. I was going up none-existent slopes for a while.

I've no expertise in the matter, just personal experience and, as long as you're not getting really tired eyes or headaches, I think you're probably doing the right thing because you're still getting your eyes to focus unaided. Once it gets too difficult and you need glasses, don't do what I did: spending hours in front of the PC screen with the reading glasses on. The screen is further away than the average reading position and wearing the glasses ''teaches'' your eyes not to do the focusing work, putting your eyes into a kind of semi-retirement. I've never managed to get my eyes to recover from that. That's what I found anyway.
If you've got reasonably equal deterioration in both eyes, you might consider low strength reading glasses for the screen when you really need it.
And then you can spend hours polishing every trace of dirt off the lenses....

You've worn glasses for sixty one years?
It's more worrying when you start getting grey pubes, so I'm told.

Why don't you go away and annoy someone else for a change.
