Now, I wear two pairs of glasses...

[Archae]

Not at the same time, obviously.

But I have my everyday glasses, and now I have my computer glasses.

My eyes are really going bad, my everyday glasses are bifocals.

Add to that my hearing getting worse, (I use two hearing aids,) can I trade my old body in on a new one?

1. at 80 years old

my eyes also failing and body riddled with arthritis so need to use a walker. Would love to trade my body in on younger model.

2. I'm 73 and have one pair of prescription glasses plus 3 pair of reading glasses strength

2X and 3X. So far my hearing is normal. It's very true that youth is wasted on the young!

3. I wear my sunglasses over my regular glasses.

So I guess I wear 2 pair at a time .

4. I used to make my own glasses.

But lately, I can't find COKE BOTTLES!


P.S. If you are nearsighted and lose your glasses ....
If you can find your phone (and that's yet another problem)
Use the camera or a "magnifier" app.

You only have to see as far as the phone, and it will focus farther away, and might light up the area, or at least, brighten it up.

Another hint:
Right after unpacking my shopping, I get out the magic marker and write IN VERY LARGE PRINT "use by" dates, recommended dosages, or in some cases, WHAT THE HECK IS IN THE CONTAINER.

And I recycle vitamin bottles that have "flip open" lids to hold vitamins that came in "Marine-Proof" lids.
(and I label things properly, of course)

5. Yup, reading glasses and hearing aids and lenses corrected during cataract surgery and

still things seem a bit fuzzy. I take 2 pair of glasses to the beach, and at least 1 extra pair to the store and still I have to move the items a bit to see the fine print and my friend has to get my attention to ask me detailed questions. I'm only 75. I thought I'd be 105 before increasing age caught up with me. Sigh. Still loving it, life that is.

7. Yep, that's where I'm at at 74.

Of course, without modern medicine, I’d be dead, so there is that.

8. I prefer a single power lens for my computer, so I don't have to tilt my head for a better view.

Really saves on neck strain.

9. Macular degeneration is a bitch.

No central vision in left eye, limited in right eye.
No depth perception.
Can't read a book.
Don't like just sitting and listening audio books(?).
Go figure?
I quit driving last summer.
