about to get glasses

I'm noticing my sight getting weaker and that drives me to the thougt of getting some glasses. If you have opinions and/or thoughts on this topic, please share.

edit: is there a way to cure or to slow down the loss? I remember read somewhere about red light or so, but completely lost it. Any opinions or info on that?

Reading glasses? I'm at 1.25 mag myself.

Best tip I have - don't bother with optical lens cleaning cloths. Use a drop of Dawn detergent on one lens, use a wet finger to dip into it and spread it to tje 4 sides of the two lenses and then scrub with wet fingers, scrub with your fingerprints, the Dawn created a lubricating film over the lens while breaking down the dirt, rinse (while still scrubbing with fingerprints until "squeaky") and pat dry. I have cheap plastic readers that are 5 or more years old and their surfaces are still like new.

Thanks for the input, I do that with my sunglasses already. But yeah, reading became slightly harder so maybe I should just try those cheap ones out.

It started hitting me in my mid 50s. I was a CS/EE and worked in front of a computer monitor most of my life, always had my monitor at max resolution and smallest print font. I attribute that to why I didn't need reading glasses until later than most. My Dad needed them by age 40. Try some 1.25 mag, you might be amazed at how much they can help.
