Lost the things some years back, apparently long enough back that I’m not allowed to use my old rx.

So, got a new rx, new exam, picked out new frames, should be here by Christmas.

    Presbyopia is aging related farsightedness, where your eye becomes too stiff for near focus. Happens to essentially everyone as they age. It’s why you see old people who use reading glasses, even if they don’t otherwise need glasses.

    Generally starts in your mid-to-late 40s, but it started becoming an issue for me around late 40, and by the time I was 42 I couldn’t ignore it anymore. I noticed I kept having to take off my glasses to read small print or see things up close, with my standard lenses I couldn’t focus on anything within 20 or so inches in front of my face.
