Well fuck. I am now old enough to graduate from needing one set of glasses to needing two different sets of glasses. I will fucking punch Father Time in the goddamn face once I figure out which pair is most appropriate for the attack range. Or maybe I need a quickswap slot.
First pair was for phones or books or cooking instructions. But desktop monitors were fine for about 5 years. But now... yeah, I need a new pair specifically for that. Fortunately naked distance vision for racing is still fine. So far.
@TomF I feel this. I used to be fine with one pair of glasses for distance, now I need reading glasses as well. I'm bordering on needing monitor-distance glasses but am resisting, it's the one range that my eyes still mostly work at. I tried varifocals in the interests of cutting down the combinations but I absolutely hated them, mainly because the useful aperture you get for a given distance is pitiful. Getting older sucks
@sinbad @TomF I went out for the day yesterday with 3 pairs of glasses. My distance sunglasses for driving in daylight, distance "normal" glasses for driving in the night, and my reading glasses for anything close up.
@KeefJudge @TomF I feel like this could be a genuine modern day use for a bandolier

@sinbad @TomF Being diabetic makes it fun. My vision used to change between very near sighted and very far sighted (and anywhere between) every couple of weeks depending on what I'd been eating.

Right now I'm near sighted in one eye and far sighted in the other, so my eye dominance changes based on distance. :)

@sinbad @TomF 100% relatable. Varifocals are ass.
wtf happened to the future where I was supposed to get robot eyes? 😢
