This sucks like a centrifugal pump

I had to embiggen my screen display on my laptop. The desktop icons are bigger, these words display larger. It was to the point where I was scrunched up and squinting like a two-eyed sea pirate just to see the screen. It is hard to use a computer when you are holding a magnifying glass to see the graphics. I do not need any distractions to increase my risk of offering up yet another typo.

Disease, genetics, age, too many sessions flying solo as a youth -- who knows why my nearsightedness is getting worse. I am 51. Some days I feel like I am 81.

  3. Don't know if you are into bifocals or not, but don't go progressive!
    Not a pun either.
    Research.

  4. The issues ate:

    A lifetime of reading often in bad light
    Age
    Diabetes
    Fuchs dystrophy

    I have had progressive bifocals since 2005

  5. I kind of like my progressives.

    I'd rather not have to have them at all, but it is what it is.

    Most of the time when I read in bed I don't bother with glasses at all. And I have to take them off to read the really small stuff on things. Either that or use a magnifying glass. YMMV.
