That's not funny, I turned 40 a couple of years ago and was having problems with my eye's. I went in to to see the eye doc for the first time in 25 years.
I literally got into an argument with her, she said the reason I had to hold things out to read them was because I was 40. I explained to her I had perfect vision and that there was clearly a better explanation that warranted further investigation.
I ended up at Costco buying two 3 packs of 1.5x cheaters.
Two years later, she may have been right.
