I'm Not Mr. Magoo Yet.
My visit to the ophthalmologist went better than expected. My distance vision isn't too sub-par and my near vision is what's changed the most. No news there but it's the diagnosis that's kind of funny. The diagnosis is presbyopia, which means basically eye changes due to the normal aging process. The doctor said it usually becomes noticeable around the 40th birthday and is very common. I guess this time my medical diagnosis is good because it's actually something normal and I'm following the normal trends. How unusual for me!
The doctor said I can continue using the reading glasses I've been using or I can get prescription glasses as these may help more than the reading glasses from Target. I really don't want the inconvenience of glasses right now so I think I'll stick with the "old lady" glasses a while longer and see what happens. I have to say it's sure nice to leave a doctor's office with good news for a change!

There ARE some pretty hip and cool reading glasses out there...zebra prints, wild colors, etc. Yep, I'd go with those any day...
(and glad to hear you've not developed anything but aging!)
