Then are you losing your farsightedness.

I am in the same exact situation. My vision used to be 20/10 then at age 47 I started losing my distance vision, my reading vision was fine or so I thought. My eye doctor though my eyes were cramping up from reading and prescribed very low strength reading glasses. By age 48 I it got worse and I was prescribed glasses for distance -0.50 strength. By age 49 I needed reading glasses more often as it was now age related and my distance vision got worse, -0.75. Then this year, at age 50, my distance got better and went back to -0.50, with my reading prescription staying the same.

I have tried bifocal glasses for driving so I can see the road ahead and my dash, but I am having issues with them. I want to keep using contacts so I can wear any sunglasses and not have to carry glasses around with me. I have tried contacts just for distance and used glasses for reading. Recently I have been using muti focal contacts but there is a compromise with them. Add Low contacts alllow me keep most of my usual distance vision and see the dash in my car fine but I can't read well with them. Add High contacts let me see things great for reading but distance is so bad I can't drive with them. I have also tried the mono vision thing and I can't adjust to them.

To top it all off, now I am at the early stages of cataracts in both eyes.
