I've always had poor eyesight and have always needed glasses or lenses. I'm farsighted in one eye and nearsighted in the other. Like you age has not been my friend. I go to the optometrist about every other year but there is only so much glasses can do now. Right around my 30s my vision just started getting much worse. People do tend to get farsighted as they age so you'd think my nearsighted eye would be improved but it somehow isn't working that way for me. Your eyes naturally try to even things out and when and where they don't you end up with blur. I do okay but I will likely be legally blind in about 15 years or so. That doesn't mean the world will go dark on me likely truly blind people but focusing will become much harder and I'll likely only be able to see what's right in front of my face and in the distance I'll see familar shapes and blurs. Pretty much how things are already just much worse. I don't drive voluntarily because I'm epilleptic. I used to drive when I was younger and healthier and working. I can pass a driver's test with glasses but I really have no need. I like to read although I'm not reading anything at this time. I love large text real books but will read on my laptop with giant font. My laptop is rather light and has a great screen but I'm considering getting a tablet. I'm thinking of a Samsung or maybe even like a Microsoft Surface. It would be nice to go without a keyboard and mouse lol
