quote:Im 40. shite is blurry for me. This is like my case probably.
Early 40’s readers. Late 40’s progressive lenses.

48 for me. I’m 49 now and it has gotten progressively worse since I started wearing them as being more and more reliant on them. At first it was just I couldn’t read certain things on my phone. Then I couldn’t read anything on my phone in a short period of time.

I’ve been wearing glasses or contacts since I was 3.
Right before 50 started to need reading glasses too.
I’m wearing my regular glasses, I can take the glasses off and read If I put whatever it is close to my eyes. I refuse to wear bifocal glasses because they look stupid and old.
If I’m wearing contacts, I have to put it as far away from my eyes as possible to read it, If I don’t have my reading glasses with me.

Had LASIK in my early 20s after being SO blind. I wore contacts that would have translated to thick glasses before then.
Mid 40s I hit the wall and quit fighting. I had a really good run.
Readers for a couple years. The headaches from wearing the glasses were more than I could handle. Right now I’m thriving on one near and one far contact. Gonna ride this solution as long as I can!

For me—8 years old

18 I realized I needed glasses and soon had contacts until I was 32 when I had LASIK at the Eye Medical Center. It was wonderful. Then around 41 I couldn’t see to drive at night. Had to get glasses again. Doc said LASIK doesn’t last forever with astigmatism. 1 year later at 42 I got bifocals because I couldn’t see anything near it far. I’m 52 and bifocals (progressives). I don’t even know I have them anymore.

Got my first pair of very light glasses at 45. Got 2.0 readers within a year. 49 now and have 2.25 progressives with nothing up top. I just can’t see my phone, computer, or drawings anymore

Early 40's and now dealing with a cataract.
Posted on 12/23/24 at 6:49 am to rsbd
I wore prescription glasses from 10 years old in 1972 through 41 years old in 2003. I then had LASIK surgery for nearsightedness and didn't need reading glasses until I was 52 or 53 in 2013/2014. I use 1.50 reading glasses now but if the lighting is good enough I don't need them at all.
Before my LASIK surgery, performed by Dr. Jeffrey Singer in 2003, my vision (or lack thereof) was 20/250 in each eye and 7.75 diopters in my left eye and 8.25 diopters in my right eye.

Remember it like it was yesterday. I turned 44 then one morning I woke up and went to read something and it was blurry. I said WTF so I rubbed my eyes and tried to read again still blurry. Had perfect vision my whole life until that morning old age is real. I use readers now.
