Normal Changes in the Aging Eye
Losing Focus
The most common age-related vision change — presbyopia — happens to almost everyone beginning between the ages of 40 and 50. A natural result of aging, the lens begins to lose elasticity, making it harder to focus vision up close for such activities as reading. But presbyopia can be corrected easily with reading glasses or glasses with bifocal, trifocal or progressive ("no-line") lenses. |

In Korea, they're called "multi-focal". Some people have a hard time getting used to them but it took me about an hour.
I've been wearing glasses for nearsightedness since I was 13, and got reading glasses from a few years ago. The constant "on with one, on with the other" was driving me crazy! The multi-focal lenses are the BEST!! Just make sure you get frames large enough to support where you need them most. I mostly don't need the really FAR vision (in the top part) but need the middle and close distance in class, so my glasses are oval. You'll need rounder ones if you use the distance and reading parts equally. |

Sorry to *bump* this post, but why didn't someone correct my original error?
I clearly used the wrong word (opposite, in fact) of what I meant.
It wasn't intentional. 
Did any English teachers read it? *heh* |

Um...are you talking about the word "livid"? I thought that you were saying that you were angry at yourself for not having your vision checked sooner....

Of course, you could have meant "defect" instead of "acuity"...but I thought that you HAD gotten glasses and were suprised at how well you could see now....
SOOOOOOOO.........what was the error (if indeed there was one?) |

My error was incorrectly using "LIVID."
Anyway, now I know.
The situation is I can see clearly now with glasses. I left them at home today,
and freaked out all day that I couldn't see. |
