The other morning I was shopping and an older person asked me to read some fine print on an item. The print was small and I was able to read it---only after squinting.
My eyes are unusual to say the least. Prior to my Lasik surgery (done only on my left about ten years ago) I was near-sighted AND far-sighted! Somehow I found a way to correct my vision the best I could without lenses (glasses--which I only wore in 3rd and 4th grade), but obviously it wasn't perfect. Still, I lived with it.
The Lasik has enabled me to see better than ever---my depth perception has impoved, so has my golf game...and driving. The doctor did tell me the one drawback of the surgery would be needing reading glasses sometime around age 40. I'm fifteen months over 40, and I may need them.
I spend lots of hours each day staring at computer screens. My "view" setting is "medium", and that's not a problem. Our news computer which I consult for the show has smaller text and to me, sometimes the lines run together. They can be difficult to read on air. I find that reading magazines and newspapers, especially in poor light has become more challenging.
Again, I see very well---except for the definition of tiny objects up close---and I'm going to try and put off the reading glasses for a little while longer. I'll keep you posted.
