I remember turning 30. I thought that 30 is certainly not "old" but you seldom hear people say "I lost my job to some thirty year old kid!"

If I may ask, are you experiencing the dreaded "old eyes" of presbyopia?
I'm well past the age when policemen & women look young .

Yes, I wear RGP (or Soft) lenses to correct for far off vision, but I need reading glasses for close stuff. It's bad enough at ADD +2.50. But I have some cheap supermarket sunglasses, which are +3.00 for really close up work like tying knots in fine fishing line especially in poor light, jewellery making, fine DIY, etc. It's becoming a nuisance to have to wear the readers more and more, since I had my long distance sight corrected fully. But at least I can see well at all ranges with the readers and contacts .

Multifocal contact lenses are beginning to look worthwhile investigating
