Got my first proper pair of glasses today. The cataract surgery cleared that up, but it means one eye is permanently set at near distance and the other at far. Which makes the 3–7 foot range a bit of a challenge. So, proper prescription glasses. Plus lecturing on Zoom made me really self-conscious of my eyebrows, so I'm happy to hide them.

They look good Doc. I’m probably getting to that point myself sooner than later. Last year or two I’ve had to resort to reading glasses. I can see anything 2 feet or more away just fine, but anything printed and I have to tilt my head back a bit without the glasses.

It's been seriously humbling. Up to age 48 or so, my vision was perfect—better than 20/20. Then rapidly developing cataracts and everything went to fuck. I got by with store glasses for reading until my surgery, but having two different eyes ruined that.

Man, I hate seeing my picture nowadays....I look old! You on the other hand look like you mean business, not sure I'd want to be one of your students!
I can relate to the vision thing, I had Lasik about 10 years ago, one eye for reading, other for distance. It was good for about 8+ years, but now it's wearing off and I'm back to wearing either bifocals (hate 'em) or readers in order to print.
God, what a mess, on the ladder of success

Yeah I was 20/20 up to around age 48 too. I really think staring at a computer screen has been a contributing factor. At least, I noticed a fairly sudden decline while pulling a few all-nighters doing some typing work. I’ll stick with the reading glasses for now though.

Ha! I'm the softest of touches (well, I'm a firm grader, but I'm the easiest guy to get an extension from).

It can wear off? My wife had it done, well, yeah, about eight years ago. Her vision is still good, tho (knock wood, I guess). My understanding is that my plastic lenses are good for life.

The turning point for me was going back to grad school (endless reading) and sitting in front of a computer for 10 hours a day. Shit got wrecked.

Looking good mate. They suit you.
I've been wearing these for about a year or so now. Mainly for tv and reading and working on Clash stuff.

My vision was absolutely perfect until about 7 years ago, then I woke up one morning and thought there was something wrong with my phone as I couldn't focus on the text. I realised I had literally gone long-sighted overnight. I thought it was something that crept up on you but it was totally sudden with me. And this last year or so I'm having trouble stuff focusing on further away, like things on the television that you're obviously meant to see. Not a massive problem yet but I think I will need proper glasses soon, I'm getting by with reading glasses at the moment.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

That's fucking weird that it'd be so instantaneous. You didn't have any kind of accident beforehand?

No, just totally sudden, unless I hadn't noticed the deteriation.
