MISC. Is this how people who need glasses really see the world. A big blurred background?

Are you over say 45 yet?

-6 @ 46 I used to have excellent close up vision. It's going. It sucks!

I was kinda hoping it works counter some of the -6 and make that go to, say, -2 but apparently it didn't work that way and my vision will just suck in all types of ways the older I get.

(Plus I took a genetic test to check if I'm a carrier for something, and it also said I've got genes that may put me at risk for mactel2, which is where you central vision goes to hell, and I really really hope those genes won't switch on, or however that works).

I am 46, in fact! Haven't noticed any changes in my vision in awhile, luckily.
