Well, I have to admit I'm getting old. Over the last year or 2 I've had trouble with my eyes developing, namely that I can't focus as well as I used to on things that are a foot or so from my face. Like a miniature being painted. A while back I got new glasses and had the optometrist give me a second prescription for a pair of "hobby" glasses.
Last weekend my wife and I were doing some painting and I was alright for a while, but after I took a break for a bit my eyes were crap. Even with a magnifier I just couldn't see to finish painting a face. The eyes just would not focus on something that small. And the closer I get it to me the worse it gets.
So I gave in and got that other scrip put in my old glasses. Picked it up yesterday, and WOW, I can actually see the mini again. I might still have to use a magnifier for eyeballs but it's a hell of a lot better than it was.
Man, special glasses, grey hair. Gottta love it.

getting older is a b@#%!, except for me it's my knees and back. Glad to hear you can continue to paint though!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I know about the knee thing too. I had the left one worked on a couple years ago, and the other one will probably need it before long. It has been acting better for quite a while though. I'll keep my fingers crossed.
