Over the winter I noticed that I was struggling reading the very small print in my A-Z (old school, bugger prat nav), especially under electric light, so I booked a visit to the opticians. Upshot is, I'm picking up my first ever reading glasses (and spares) on Saturday. So starts the long slow slide into decrepitude.
Sir if you get the chance and option and the cost is not to prohibative I can honestly reccomend getting a pair of polarised prescription shades, I did and I think I use them probably slightly more than my ordinary specs, the polarised lenses make a helluva difference for me when driving, out and about in bright sunshine, when near water, under floyrescent lights like in shopping malls, and especially in light at dawn and dusk when the sun is low in the sky. When I get new specs every two years I get one pr ordinary specs and one pr polarised shades.
