Middle-aged issues

[Alex321]

It's both. I have been wearing glasses for short sight since I was 7 but from that age, and well into my late 40s wasn't an issue reading anything. Then by early 50s it was an issue.

Similar here, but I wear contact lenses for distance vision (and have done for 48 years), but need reading glasses for closer work.

I can just make out the numbers on my Wahoo Elmnt Roam, but not the labels for the boxes, so I need to now which position each reading is in.

Another 2 pairs of glasses here, for day to day activities I can just about cope without specs but if I want to see clearly it's on with the bins, been shortsighted since about 10 and need reading glasses for the past 12 years. Still go to the same opticians as I always have but it is the Son now owns it, it was Ernest B. Judge but is now just Judge Opticians still in the same shop on High St. in Leicester.

Another vote here for varifocals.

[Edit] PS. But failing eyesight is just one of a whole bunch of middle age issues.

Yes. The hair on the top of your head deciding to "migrate" through your brain and exit from both your ears and your nose is another annoying middle age issue.
