re: Old farts of the OT, what age did the need for glasses come along??

I assume you mean reading glasses. I'm 50 and it's been a must for about five years. Everyone over 40 has presbyopia to some degree, whether they notice it or not.

Glasses in general was in 4th grade, so 8 or 9.

far back as i can remember.

i started needing stronger glasses for reading last year at 42

Readers started in late 30’s early 40’s.
Real glasses at 58

56

Age 48 for me.

42 I started using readers and 44 I got progressive lenses. Had cataract surgery on my right eye last year and plan on having the left eye done with the next year.

16 (though I typically wear my contacts rather than my glasses).

AT 55 I started with readers and then went to progressives at about 62-3.

45 I started needing reading glasses for small print

47 and still don't need them. Tiny text is getting harder to read. Low light can be challenging.

Everyone says once you get readers, it is downhill so I have refused so far. Annual appointment Thursday, so we will see what he says
