What possible evolutionary reason would God have to make us lose our up-close eyesight as we age? It seems only to disadvantage. Then it came to me...so I can't see the wrinkles in the mirror! Yes, that's it! Without my glasses, I look just as good as I did decades ago. Stray hair on the chin? Isn't there. Wrinkled eyes? Smooth up close! From a distance, I do okay but up close....
There is nothing more aggravating than not being able to read without finding where I put my glasses. If I don't put in contacts for myopia, I can read without them but then I'm touchy because I can't see facial expressions and far away. If I put in contacts, I can't read up close. My eyes are messed up enough I can't use the new bifocal ones. I guess "it could be worse".

I've got bifocal glasses that I wear inside the house and 2 different contacts I wear when I go out, one for close vision and one for distance vision. It took a couple of months to get used to them, but now I really like being able to drive to the grocery and then read all the lables. :-)
