I find myself benefiting from some vision correcting eyewear lately. Not that I'm getting old or anything. Reality just got fuzzier during the last few years. Sign of the times.

If eye glasses were never invented, the usefulness of the ripe generation would drop off a cliff, making room for more eagle-eyed young studs. But as it is, the geriatrics get to keep holding on and dominating the young'uns with their vast experience.

Speaking as an outsider looking in, because old is definitely not the thing that I am. Just look at he onion on my belt.

My great grandmother had macular degeneration and I've been told it runs in families. Last time I went to the eye doc, I asked him about it and he said at my age, he'd already see it, so I should be safe from that. My mom had bad cataracts removed a few years ago and I had also asked about those. He said I was good there too since modern glasses have UVA/B protection and I've been wearing them so long. I do have a lot of floaters, but I don't think anything can be done about that. I just ignore them.

I'm just really lucky that it is so simple to correct for.
