Am I getting older or is print just keep getting smaller?

I think it is a conspiracy that the one's who put out this print keep making it smaller and smaller so we think we need those glasses when in reality we don't! Then once we have the glasses, just to mess with us, they'll make it bigger like it never even happened.

The print IS getting smaller. It's a conspiracy. They're doing it on purpose. I have glasses and a magnifying glass. The only directions I can still read are on a lot of Trader Joe's products. They still have normal size print I can read without glasses. But sometimes - actually a lot of the time - I have to have glasses and a bright light to see anything. They say the eyes are the first to go..... I wonder what's the second thing?

I have severe astigmatism. Like if I go without glasses on contacts, all I see are general shapes-EVERYTHING past the end of my nose is blurry! But I learned something recently; last year, I was forced to finally admit that I needed reading glasses WITH my contacts. I cannot focus on any small type with my contacts. That prescription corrects my eyesight to 20/20. Now my glasses are not corrected for astigmatism, so my eyesight with them is 20/30. But I was stunned to see that I was able to read all that small print, as well as focus on close up work! I think that computer monitors cause eyestrain, as well as age. I'm 40 and have been wearing glasses since I was eight years old.

I'm 47-- and in the space of 6 MONTHS between my appointments, I needed bifocals. Apparently if you get sick, or your hormones change, the shape and flexibility of your eyes change. I thought it might be the computer too, but he said it just happens to "older women like you". He was about 25, wearing a mickey mouse tee shirt. I got the glasses-- and changed doctors.

It is definitely you are getting older, if print on 'everything' is getting smaller to your eyes. It is a fact that you can hardly deny as every passing day add to your age line. Mylotting also doing harm to your eyes if you stay long enough to further strain them, it is another undeniable fact. I think your optometrist is capable to tell you whether you need reading glasses or not, may be it is time for you to pay another visit for your own sake without my further comment. Have a nice day!

hihihi, print is the same, i think you need glasses now since it is really hard for you to read a small print. you should do to check your eyes again.In fact we have to go to check it each 6 months...

You probably do need them now and perhaps should get them checked out. I fyou don't like wearing glasses then you may be a suitable candidate to start wearing contact lenses. Check with your optician. The good news is that as you get older the sight does not change too much. Now you have reminded meof a story to share on MYLOT. Blessings

Reading glasses picked up from the store won`t hurt your eyes and will make reading easier. My eldest daughter got her first reading glasses at 40 years of age. I agree with you though the they are making letters smaller each day. A couple of weeks ago I got a new shampoo. The instructions were in tiny yellow letters with a light green background. Now that is dumb! Don`t you think? Take care.

I am also wearing glasses right now. I just reach 40's but can't see clearly with far views - hehehe. I stayed mylotting till I drop (ahaha)can't avoid the addiction. So far I don't have any problem or encountered problem with reading or typing. Just one thing I never do--- NEVER WASH MY FACE AFTER MYLOTTING, or after staying a long time in front of computer.

I had been wearing glasses since early twenties starting at 150 grade which rose to 500 at my fifties. My sights seems to have improve after mid fifties and now i'm wearing a 400 grade glasses. Ophthalmologist's explanation was normally our eyesight tends to return to normal at 60s. Don't know if this is true but i know i have a clearer vision now than before or maybe the natural food supplement that i am taking had something to do with this just as it has improved my other physical discomforts too.

Hi one get a second doctor To look you,until I got Bio.focal glasses I had the same Problem and im 50 now But I had always had glases Here a trick that help me Read small print go out side In the sunlight this does Help me read small print. Have good day

it is kind of hilarious,its not about being old.even though you are getting old,the vision keeps getting blurred,so keep focussing and also make sure that you test your eyes once more to know well

Well I am definately not qualified to make the statement that you are doing harm to your eyes with all your mylotting...but if your eyes have become the least bit weak you may now need glasses... I always wear my watch to bed and it was the first thing I did in the morning when I woke up..Well one morning I woke up looked at my watch and could not see it,,,I honestly could not see the time, just like that...over night... I agree with you that prints is smaller and I am getting older. LOL...no need to be vain, it is what it is.... HAVE A GOOD WEEKEND!!!!!
