So you can read and watch tv at the same time.

I have reading glasses, and that is what I do. Come at me.

I'll be 43 in a few weeks and still have 20/20 vision. I'm sure it's coming though.

I remember that day for me. It happens, but if you want to read that fine print on the ketchup bottle, it's a must.

I’m younger than you! But I spend all day on a computer so that’s probably got something to do with it.

You wake up at 5 am and feel like you slept in.

Yeah, I'd do too. For whatever reason, most of my family has good eyesight. My wife's went to complete shite in like 6 months though.

I literally had 20/20 vision till I was 50, only member of my family not wearing glasses. Then, got sideswiped by a drunk driver, crossed traffic and hit a tree head on at about 40 mph. Airbag caught me right in the face.

Eyes swollen shut like I went 10 rounds with Tyson. And now, blurry vision, needing glasses to correct, and reading glasses to read.

When you stay up past 11pm and you look at the clock and say to your wife "holy shite, it's after 11".

Happy birthday. I didn’t need glasses till I was about 48. But yes, it’s coming.

I made it to 51 without ever wearing glasses now they are on constantly when I am on the computer etc.

As for the nose dropped readers I have a pair of lineless bi-focal lens that has no prescription on the top part so I can go back and forth from reading to distance and still have the glasses where they are supposed to be. Much more comfortable than having the frame line constantly in view.

You think about some of the music you listen to is 50+ years old. Also that most all the actors in your favorite old movies are all dead.
