9. Try the strongest reading glasses out there OVER bifocals.

Then you'll get an idea of just how bad my eyesight has been.

I've had 8 surgeries on the right, including a transplant, and two on the left. I still have trouble with low contrast print on some web pages but this particular box came with a magnifier built in, so I can cope with most of them.

Drugstore glasses by themselves are fine for anyone over 40 whose arms aren't long enough for them to read standard print. Studies have shown there is no superiority for prescription glasses for people with normal distance vision but poor close vision. Thought you'd like to know that.
