I watch as he pulls the text far from his eyes. He squints. He shakes his head. He turns the light on brighter. He reaches for his glasses, purchased from a grocery store. Now he reads. "Clear as a bell" he says. This man is my husband of 24 years and 11 months. I am not far behind. I must turn my light up brighter, too. But I don't pull the text away, nor wear the glasses. Yet.

i do...i now rock a pair of nerd 'cheaters'...i feel like tina fey. (heh heh, i wish)
ReplyDeletelove the shot - great illustration of a point
Too many days I have had the same thing, One paper I can read, the other not. It starts happening to most of us at around 40. I have to get a pair of readers for sure, as it is I am always searching for them now. It was a brillant post, looking right through a pair of eyes. take care.
ReplyDeletetee hee...its coming, but that's a sign of eyes that are "seasoned"
ReplyDeleteyep! I'm 44...he's 47... wow. that used to be old! not so much now i don't think! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat shot! I want to take that book and move it forward and back to get just the right distance... sigh.
ReplyDeleteYep, my husband does the same thing...I broke down and did the progressive lenses several years ago and it changed my life. Now I need new ones. Great idea for the theme!
ReplyDeleteI know exactly how he feels!
ReplyDeleteGreat take on this theme!
our 25th is on the heels of yours....
ReplyDeleteours is in december....
special isn't it ?
and the reading issues...only him, but like forever....I'm still priding myself on 20/20....
Just started wearing glasses for reading last year...it's a strange feeling...not having that focus!
ReplyDeletegot my new stronger glasses this week. yay for that. much common ground here.
ReplyDeletewhat a great idea for the theme! love it!
ReplyDeletebeen there, done that! smile! bifocals are a wonderful thing . . what did i do before i got them?
ReplyDeleteOh, your day will come, when you carry one pair of glasses in your purse, have one pair in the console of your car, a pair in your office and every room in your house ... AND always have a pair either in your pocket,the front of your shirt, or perched on top of your head!
ReplyDelete;-D Sigh. PERFECT take on this topic!
At age 40 I started wearing the over the counter specs too...since then I have progressed to very expensive progressive glasses...such is life!
