At almost 55, I can still read a freeway sign from two miles, however, I can't see the numbers on the dash to tell how fast I am going or what radio station I am listening too. The next step is when you keep a pair of glasses in each room, or have to increase the rings on your phone to at least 5 or more so you can find your glasses in time to see the caller I.D. and determine if you want to answer the call.

Most of the time I can't find them. True, they are usually on top of my head when I'm frantically looking for them, but if not, who can see to find them in the first place?

Not only have I had to wear glasses since I was 12 but it's ONLY GETTING WORSE with age. Thank your lucky stars that you've gotten this far without bumping into walls! But I guess if I had those gorgeous Cathy F eyes I might take more offense at glasses. People that have perfect vision and complain about losing it drive me nuts!

And when I try wearing my glasses in the shower, even just for a moment (in an effort not to wash my hair with conditioner), they fog up so quickly!! And then comes tweezing the eyebrows WITH glasses ON. Very awkward. Maybe this means we're supposed to give up all this beauty stuff that takes up so much time anyway!

I have been caught with both on at once. It's not a great look, but hell, I can't see anyway. I wear see-ers and read-ers. I have been caught with both on at once.
