Glasses are for old people :-)
I don't have glasses. I refuse to wear them, mostly as nose-thumbing gesture to all those folk (you reading this, Mother?) who nagged me unceasingly in my youth that all the low-light reading I did was going to ruin my eyesight. In my youth my eyesight was significantly above average (13-13), and has serverd me well throughout my life. One of my long-standing promises to self was to be able to brag in my old age that I didn't need glasses until I was fifty.
And now with that milestone about to come crashing down on my head (egads - I'm OLD!), it's a tossup whether my determination or my eyesight will give out first. About a year ago I began carrying a magnifying glass around with me. I told myself it was just to read maps, but I've caught myself pulling it out more frequently for pbooks as well.
With my ereader, however, I can just enlarge the fonts and all is well.
