I think I hit the age where my eyes are starting to diminish

Definitely post on a message board about it late on a Saturday night.

I'm drinking and can't see shite

I'm dealing with the same thing.


I went to the eye doctor and they diagnosed me with O.L.D.

It's treatable but not curable

It happens to everyone of us…unlless you just drop dead. First off, be sure you are up to date on all doctor visits. It is probably just a matter of the normal course of aging…but maybe not.

It may be nothing more than some medicine you are taking.

Same, but it’s just certain ppl that I can’t hear for shite mostly.

Age 44 it happened to me
Couldn't make out the total on bar tabs.
Bartenders loved it, My CPA did not
Go see, not pun intended, an ophthalmologist and possibly an optometrist.
Contacts were a life changer.
When you figure out the right ones, and it takes some trial and error, you won't even know they're in place.
The current Cooper Vision Biofinity Multifocals have been on my eyes for around 3 months.
No downvotes please
I've learned the secret to cleaning them without removing them.

Sela,
I got bifocals in my early 40s and readers around 50 (you can get a pack of 3 for less than $20 at CVS/WMart/etc) but they come in different focuses so make sure you get the right one. Keep one at your workspace and one in the car for starters).

Bifocals aren't bad. A simple eye exam will get you the right prescription which you can take to Target for a good price for lenses and frames.

Good luck!

Mid 40's - it goes downhill fast.

I’m 43, had LASIK at 30, and hoped I would get to at least 45 or even 50, but my eyes are starting to fail me as well. I’m probably 20/30 or 20/40, so it’s not terrible yet, but right after surgery I was 20/10. I haven’t looked in to any surgical remedies as of yet. I know LASIK is not an option again, but I think there are some other options that didn’t used to be available.
