4. I wore glasses for most of my life. After my corrective surgery, I did that same thing. A lot

In fact, I sometimes still do, and it's been 6 years! So that might just be an ingrained habit.

I do that sometimes. I wore glasses my whole life, but had cataract surgery on both eyes a couple of years ago. I still occasionally try to do somthing with my glasses. Especially at times like when I climb into the shower.

Mine was cataract surgery, too. I was EXTREMELY near sighted so when I had my surgery, I upgraded to state of the art new lenses that gave me 20/20 vision and, save for reading VERY small print on a color background or dim light, no need for glasses.

It was costly, but worth every single dollar.

17. He probably uses reading glasses now and then

And thought he had them on.

I can't fault an 83 year old for having a good vision day.

I'm 61 and my vision changes from day to day.

I’ve looked for the glasses on my head and I’ve had those moments when I’m not certain whether I see better with or without them. And I’m in fine mental shape for a sixtysomething.
