I now have to take off my glasses when I read or do close up work and if I'm wearing my contacts, I wear reading glasses for reading or sewing. I felt middle aged yesterday as I sewed a button on The Doctor's shirt and needed my reading glasses to thread the needle.Holly (2 Kids and Tired)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13075380878850295214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4732609668331686820.post-26321038964464447502013-01-28T14:28:52.643-08:002013-01-28T14:28:52.643-08:00I've been wearing glasses since about third gr...I've been wearing glasses since about third grade -- all at once, my eyes went from easily passing the yearly school test to needing glasses really bad. I went to progressives with the last new pair. Took some getting used to, for a while it felt like I was walking in the bottom of a bowl, but now I like them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4732609668331686820.post-83478114516714117392013-01-22T13:25:45.913-08:002013-01-22T13:25:45.913-08:00I completely relate to this!

I'm still putting it off though, so have my glasses on a string around my neck (granny chain glasses thing?)and ping-pong between putting them on and off all day ... how lovely and middle-aged is that?!

Eye doc says, "join the club!". He's not as funny as he thinks he is. Anyway, now I'm very close to turning 53 and I wear progressives. I. LOVE. THEM. :)<br />They have clear glass up top because I still have 20/20 for distance. Mid-range for computer and such viewing in the center, and 175 on the bottom for close-up and reading. At first, I hated them. Made me dizzy and a little seasick. I prevailed and now I can't live without them. So a long, drawn out answer to your simple question...mid-forties. :) <br />And yes - I've always talked too much. My daddy would confirm this. And maybe everybody else that knows me. You look a-dork-able dahling!!! Remember...growing older is a blessing than many don't get. Wallow in your ripening my dear! <br />p.s. I haven't forgotten your nuts...just been a little busy. It will be a nice little surprise when they arrive.

When did this all happen? That's what I want to know.<br /><br />I was about your age when I needed to start with bifocals and I didn't like it a bit as they made me motion sick. I did the *old granny chain glasses thing* for a while but finally got too old to pull it off!!! Now I just have readers in every room in the house, my purse, and glove box!<br /><br />Welcome to middle age! Eyesight aside... I've loved middle age! The last decade of my life has been the best since my very first decade.<br /><br />Hugs and love<br />YFAJoaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02143412392741865309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4732609668331686820.post-78991228774076267512013-01-12T08:07:56.968-08:002013-01-12T08:07:56.968-08:00Cutie McCute!

The Frenchman waited until our 2nd year of marriage to tell me he HATES my glasses. *lol* I needed to get my eyes checked again anyway, so I selected a completely different style. The optomotrist recommended progressive lenses but I opted for single focus lenses. I don't wear my glasses all the time, mostly for driving, watching movies and occasionally for other distance purposes. If I'm wearing them and need to see something close up, I just take them off. The price of progressives was exorbinant!!! Another reason I opted out.Carolynn Anctilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12566204713508877389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4732609668331686820.post-85961961484691504882013-01-12T04:27:52.505-08:002013-01-12T04:27:52.505-08:00Gosh, I've worn them for years.
