Yesterday while attending the elderly week celebration I observed many seniors don't use reading eyeglasses during the performance of group singing.
The group of these old guys are holding coupon band and reading the lyrics of the song they eere singing. Of 20 of them more than half are not using reading eyeglasses.
Wow.
Incidentally, I forgot my eyeglasses Yesterday and my eyes are like tormented at that time.
Is there a possibility that a senior can have that sharp eyes?

oh yes, why I didn't think of that, maybe some of them just don't want to wear the glasses so they didn't wear it.

I guess if they ate a lot of carrots in their life then it is possible haha or some just have really good eyes. Or like my great aunt, just too vain to wear glasses.

I believe that as long as you practice good and healthy eye habits, you'd be on your way to having eyeglass-free elderly years.

I think that is one of the major cause of our poor eyesight now. Exposing to modern tech gadgets can really hurt our eyes.

@ilocosboy I agree with you on that one because I am only 23 years old and my vision has been dying down a lot. But the thing is, everything Has to be used with the tech. Everywhere you go, they say "get on the computer and do it" and honestly 95% of the things we have to do in life is easier hands-on and on paper because tech is so glitch and frustrating, and sometimes avoiding all that trouble is nice.

Oh I see, I thought short-sighted can read well in newspaper but don't have clear view from afar.

I really envy those people who are not wearing eyeglasses, how I wish I will return to that day when I need no glasses to read newspapers and magazines.
