I’ve noticed that I need to hold things farther away from my eyes when reading, so knew I’d need reading glasses soon. We went to our friendly neighborhood Costco for a vision test this afternoon and I got a prescription for reading glasses, picked out some frames and for just $117, should have my glasses next week.
I learned that I have astigmatism, but otherwise, my eyes are healthy and I don’t have a need for full-time glasses yet.
What a coincidence – I just got reading glasses myself, for the first time, about three weeks ago. Now that I have them, I’m amazed when I realize how much I’d been straining my eyes to try to read things close – or even something in my hand with my arm fully extended.
Oy.
