Oh the shame!
I admit it, I am getting old...I admit it, I need bifocals (but will likely wait until I can no longer read at all!)

2. I've needed bifocals for three years, but you will have to
pry my glasses (18 years old) of my body, so I just take the glasses off, and then I can see close... (a trick a friend taught me)....

4. I could go that route, I suppose.... if I ever DO
change glasses, then I will get bifocals (and photogrey, they are great!).

5. I had LASIK done before I turned 35. Now, almost 7 yrs later, I can
still see pretty clearly. But I've been told that it doesn't correct presbyopia, which is the natural aging of the retina. At some point, I will most likely have to resort to bifocals, as well. Bottom line is, you are not alone and I'm right behind ya, girlfriend!
:hug:

Yes, it's a trip getting older......

6. My dear KitchenWitch!
We all want you to get old....since the alternative is completely unacceptable!

Bifocals? Piffle! I've been wearing trifocals for a number of years now, and I am so happy I can see!

Embrace your beautiful age, sweetie!

For you are a beautiful woman, inside and out, you know.....


:loveya: :hug:
