That makes sense. Getting a pair of script glasses is in the foreseeable future. I've always had amazing vision. When I was a kid the doc asked me if I wanted to read manufacturer information on the doorknob while I was at it. Of course, after hitting 40 I started to lose the ability to see close up, though my far sight is still great. Plus, I am on a computer all day, many nights at home, or I have my nose in a book. I do believe I have slight astigmatism, was told that once though I don't really understand it. Also, I believe my left eye is much stronger than my right (is that the same thing?)

Thanks for the advice!

Dammit, Spexx, my religious affiliation is none of your business, nor do I think it's pertinent to this thread.

I asked the doctor what presbyopia was and he said, "You're 46 and need reading glasses."
