I had perfect vision till I hit 40. Between 40 and 60 I've had two progressive prescriptions. Now at 61 I think I need bifocals. Old age sucks.

You need to eat more carrots. I learned about ocular nutrition from Paul Harvey.

I now have readers in every room plus the truck and boat. Refuse to carry them with me. Good past three feet though.

Bobcat, Medicare will pay for cataract surgery only, not upgraded lens implants. They will give an exam to see which lenses you would be eligible for. May lenses were different for each eye. They have various price ranges as well. I had to do something because I couldn't pass my eye test at the drivers license bureau.
