it had to happen some time
May. 26th, 2010 03:03 pmi knew it was coming. but now it's begun to arrive.
i've got a couple of pairs of drugstore reading glasses (like, 1.25 or 1.5) that i've been using to read uber fine print and such. i've just realized that the +1.5 pair i keep in my bag makes the iphone more usable without having to zoom in on pages in safari.
it's still just a matter of minor fuzziness, but still. HELLO, OLD, HOW ARE YOU TODAY. ALSO, YOU KIDS GET OFF MY LAWN.

Date: 2010-05-26 07:48 pm (UTC)All my life I've had better-than-20/20 vision, both at a distance and close up. It's very clear to me that at *least* my vision has deteriorated to the point of being baseline, and it may actually be worse than that now.
It's not actually problematic yet, but it's still distressing. Gonna get my eyes checked some time this year.
On the plus side, the work on sequencing my own personal genome has begun. Maybe I can harvest fresh eyes from a vat-grown clone soon enough. Yay science!
