Happy Saturday to us all! I went to the city at 1:45PM. (It was so hard to get transportation in the streets because it was so hot and almost all tricycles were parked at the side of the roads; drivers were resting). Actually, I...

Do you wear reading glasses? At what age did you need to wear them?

Rocketj1 @rocketj1 (6955) • United States 8 Oct 08

So far, so good. I have not needed to get glasses yet (at age 44). I don't even need reading glasses so far. I am anticipating them soon however as many of my friends have ended up with them at this age. How about you?

Before Tuesday of this week, I equated bifocal glasses with the elderly. I no longer do so. Mostly because I don't feel that I'm elderly....and I now need bifocals. I'm struggling with the fact that in less than 3 weeks, I...
