I just moved from normal glasses to "progressive lenses" (fancy bifocals) and it was a similar "holy poo poo this is awesome" moment.

I know a lot of people would, at this point in this post, say something like "getting old sucks", but these new glasses are freaking amazing and, with the white beard, I'm a sexy old man. So I'm gonna go with "glasses are awesome" instead.

I'm juggling the idea that I might need readers to read my phone or play my Nintendo in a more comfortable position with the idea that I should still have a few years to go before presbyopia.

Bifocals are really good, friend. Both those are things you tend to look down to see.

On the computer monitor, I have to wear a special pair of computer glasses that are just normal glasses for a single distance. I wear those sometimes for books, too, because with the progressives I have to turn my head a little bit to unblur text on the left and right. But for everything else, it's the progressive lenses, and it's awesome to be able to see the ingredients on the item in the store or the voltage output of the power supply, without having to change glasses.
