Your eye glass, how strong your eyes are now

Long story short, I went from +0.5 to +1 within 3 years, for close up reading or laptop but I tell you straight that my distance is not like in my 20's

I'm 47 going strong on 48 in less than 6 months and didnt had any glasses before 3 years ago.

What to expect now? Going +? each 2/3 years?

They say going old makes you appreciate life more but you need to see that coming, pun intended

My eyes were getting really bad and my prescription was changing way too often.

I had cataract surgery last March with multi focal lenses put in. It's like Amazon delivered me 2 new eyeballs. No more glasses. I sure wish I had done the procedure earlier.

If it’s just general presbyopia for reading only, I’ve read that it tapers off in many people.

But if you plan ahead, then buy 2 pairs for each mag level: 1.5, 1.75, 2.0, 2.25, 2.5 - that should last you into your 70’s…

It’s like buying futures on the market - the prices will surely rise so the “cost avoidance ROR” ought to top 10%/yr.

Yes, for reading only.

I will take the advice and start buying incremental lenses
Then sell it once the market gets on the peak :)))
