I have to wear reading glasses now. It sucks. I went from wearing glasses/contacts to see anything past 10 feet for years to getting laser eye surgery and now I have to wear glasses again for anything within a few feet. It's like I've circled back around. At least I don't need them for anything else.

I was wearing contacts for distance correction but had to pull out the readers for close up. Then a couple years ago I had an optometrist push multifocal contact lenses on me and it was a goddamn revelation. They function kind of like bifocal glasses except there is no line and no awareness of the correction shift, and with them my vision is back to as good as it was in my 20s, if not better. I only need reading glasses with tiny print or really dim light - for the most part I can see close up just fine again. The weird thing is, my normal vision is 20/15. My near vision had always been perfect until I got the eye surgery. I noticed immediately that I couldn't focus on things that were really really close. Like inches from my eyes. And as the years have gone on those inches have been moving out an inch or two a year to the point I need the readers. I really hope my far vision doesn't erode, as well.
