I remember in the 4th and 5th grades having to sit in the front of the classroom because I couldn’t see the blackboard. I finally got glasses in the 6th grade. I wore glasses all the time. When I got my driver’s license, it very clearly stated I needed corrective lenses.
But I only needed glasses for distance–TV, driving, etc. Not for reading.
Several years later, when wearing contacts, I developed the need for reading glasses. I stopped wearing contacts and went to bifocals. And that worked fine.
Until a couple of years ago.
I noticed I had a hard time reading road signs or watching television with my glasses on. I mentioned it to my eye doctor. Lo and behold, a miracle had happened. My vision, without corrective lenses was 20/20. I mean who has ever heard of that? I did not have surgery. It just…happened!
I do need computer glasses, so I have bifocals for that, but I don’t need anything for watching TV or driving.
I still need reading glasses, but I can now purchase them on line. In bulk. I have so much fun matching my eyewear to my outfit. Next on the list: rhinestone glasses.
