That reminds me - my optometrist said at my age (48 then), I could either have my eyes corrected normally with laser, like my glasses would - but since I wear bifocals, I would have to fix the far vision, and wear glasses for close up.

OR I could have 'monovision' - where one eye is corrected for near, the other for far, and they balance out.

He suggested I try this with contact lenses first.

I rarely wear the contacts now - but found that monovision was ok.

Marigold - I think prescriptions start to change again in middle age, is that right?
