I am recently feeling the change in vision and dont' like it. I have had glasses since I was 11 for being nearsighted. I can wear contacts for distance, and didn't need reading glasses until recently. Now, when I take my contacts out or my glasses off, I seem to need glasses for the close up things. For the record, I dont' like this. I feel a bit blurrier now than I used to. I know I am 49 and it is common, I am just complaining because I am feeling older from this. That's all, thanks for letting me vent.

same here really need to go have eyes checked

I have had contacts/glasses since I was 24 and I am 42 now. I used to only need them for far off but over the years I need them ALL the time. It stinks.

Same here enough . I didnt start wearing glasses till I was 42, oh gee 10 years ago how time flies . every few years seems like there is a change and I think I better get there again . I use to only need for reading but now I think I need them for far ,I cant read the TV anymore . Man that stinks and reminds me of how getting old blows .....

my boss laughs at the 3 pair of glasses sitting on my desk ,,1 for driving, 1 for seeing my computer screen, 1 for reading fine print .. geeze ,, also find if I stay up late I need to put in eye drops

I am riding this boat too. Been wearing glasses since my 20s but only for distance. Now I can see anything unless I have glasses on!!! It do make one feel older somehow.

I can't read a thing without my reading glasses. I always forget to bring them with me shopping so I have to ask someone what the price tag says or
just cross my fingers and hope its not too much. Just another fun part of getting older.

Hey guys, thanks for the answers. I dont' feel good it's happening to all of you, but happy I am not alone. Here's to more carrot juice.

Vit A really does help!! I had terrible night vision, but it's much better now that I'm taking the A.


I needed glasses on my 40th BD. It was the exact day. I realized I couldn't read my birthday card! My Dad said " yeah.. well, happy 40th! Welcome to the I've-turned-40-and-can't-see-past-my-nose CLUB!"

ARGHHH!!!!
