 I heard a comedian talking about dating older guys and mentioning the
 HUGE font on their phones.  :)

 I've worn glasses for some time, but I hated reading glasses. I needed
 some astigmatism correction at distance, but not much. I've been
 wearing progressives for about 30 years now. They're expensive, which
 bites, but I don't have to worry about taking them off and on again to
 read.

 I'm 60 and about due for another eye exam, thankfully my prescription
 is mostly stable. Usually I end up scratching my lenses and that
 prompts me to get an exam and new glasses every year or two.  :)
