Right when the clock struck 40, my near vision started getting challenging - just like the professionals said it would.
Initially, an optivisor and good light (sometimes neither if I was well rested) was all I needed. However, a couple years later I'm finding that my nearest focus point is continuing to move away from me. I find myself, for example, letting my eyes go out of focus when taking notes at work - and that's about two feet away. So basically, it's now interfering with my day to day life.
What have others found to address this change?
Bifocals seem like the obvious solution, but I wear contacts daily to correct pretty significant nearsightedness. Because of this, bi-focals seem a little redundant as half of the lens would have no prescription! (Correct me if this is not an unusual situation).
The other solution I'm aware of is to wear lenses with two different prescriptions - one to completely correct my far vision, the other with a slightly less strong correction to use for near vision.
Thanks,
Matt
