9. You might need reading glasses...

for close up things. You'll find a rack of them at any drugstore, and they're generally not expensive. Almost everybody gets far sighted after 40 or so. And, I can say from experience, that does not mean that any near-sightedness you may have goes away. It somehow doesn't work that way.

I wore glasses for near-sightedness since 3rd grade. After about 42 I badly needed bi-focals. I never could get used to tri-focals. The field of view for each lens section was just too small, and I found I got neck strain from trying to hold my head in one position for too long.

Then, at about 60, my cataracts got so bad I had the surgery done. Since then, my distance vision is 20/20 but I still need reading glasses for the close stuff. I have several pair for different distances. The Dollar stores around here actually have cheap reading glasses, so you can get them cheap.

Best of luck. Sight is prescious. Take care of it.
