Aging; declining vision

This morning I received You want hot sex? e-mail spam and my first thought was, My goodness, that sounds tiring. Perhaps I am no longer a youth. In particular, in trying to read tiny print off a failing solid-state drive I found that, wearing their glasses, [personal profile] mst3kmoxie and our daughter could read it more easily than I. Indeed, I had opted to put the drive in a flatbed scanner and read from the scanned image. My distance vision certainly remains very good.

While I now forget the details of past visits to optometrists and similar, I do recall that many years ago my vision was measured at 20/12 and later seemed to have degraded to 20/15 or so. I am due for another eye check which I bother with more for eye health than visual acuity but I now wonder how much further my vision has degraded and how many years away eye correction yet is.
