When I turned 35 or so my eyes suddenly refused to accommodate contacts anymore, I think because my eyes got drier. I tried several different brands and nothing worked so I just started wearing my glasses all the time. About three years ago (age 47-ish) my vision got bad enough to necessitate the wearing of bifocals. I went with the progressive lenses and I hate them. The field of "good vison" in these things is so narrow it's frustrating. I have gotten used to them to the point that I seldom outright notice but it's still a pain in the butt sometimes. And I still take my glasses off to read things up close because my uncorrected up close vision is waaaaay better than with the glasses. I need them for distance and for arms length stuff.
