I'm ancient in age and am still seeing fine without any glasses both for near and far vision. I have a large cataract in one eye now for 9 years and I can see just fine through it. There is no question these Kindles have extended my vision and avoided glasses and a cataract operation. I am the eldest and practically the only patient at my Ophthalmologist's office getting by without glasses or surgeries.
For me Kindles have replaced eye glasses totally.
This new PW 2013 is the best yet. Fonts are better on it than any other eReader I've seen so far and make print books totally obsolete.

Oh good I thought you used the PW in the dark like that! *phew*
My mom was just diagnosed blind in her right eye with a cataract and is going to have surgery. I know if it ever happens to me I would have the surgery without a doubt. Don't hold off too long not to get it fix. You don't want to wind up where she is now. she's 73
I wear glasses at all times as you can tell from my sim Avatar. I'm near sighted with a left astigmatism and many floaters. I need to get a new prescription it's been two years. My eyes have not change much over 9 years according to the eye doctor. They sure feel like they have to me. I squint at everything without them now. I have more than my eye sight against me I am dyslexic. So the Kindles really help me be able to read more. I found a font and modified it so it works perfect for me. I put it on all my Kindles.
So until I can either see the contrast on the PW2 or it allows custom fonts like the PW1 does I am holding off on buying one.
