    Would you let your kids buy a book from this man in a bookstore?

    Of course not. You should have reading glasses and a bow tie.

    HA! I don't wear reading glasses. And I don't think I could pull
    off wearing a bow tie.

    How can you work in a book shop then?

    I *do* slip on a pair of 0+ blu-blocker glasses when I feel that
    my extensive staring at the screen would affect me for the
    worse. I find that those glasses make a huge difference in
    reducing dry-eyes and restoring normal sleep pattern.

    I need something like that. Screen glare and night glare both kill me.

    August,

    I don't wear reading glasses. And I don't think I could pull
    off wearing a bow tie.

    I wore glasses for over 40 years, being severely nearsighted.
    When I had to stop driving at night at 35, it was discovered that
    I had cataracts. The visual acuity was 20/2000 -- but after the
    surgery with intraocular lens implants, it improved to 20/20.
    However, I have to use reading glasses when looking at the
    smartphone, documents, or at the computer. Or, as the late Red
    Skelton noted as Clem Kadiddlehopper, Doctor Of Fool-ology, noted,
    "I don't really need these. But, I've reached the age where
    curiosity is greater than vanity". <G>

    I've been dealing with the eyes being too dry or too watery
    lately. Part of it may be spending too much time at the computer,
    watching YouTube Videos of military personnel coming home to
    surprise their families...or their girlfriends, with a marriage
    proposal.

    I've never heard of anyone having cataracts at such a young
    age. You are quite the anomaly.

    Back in those days, wearing glasses had a sigma. Now, vanity
    is quite the factor for looking good in the right frames!

    Try a blu-blocker pair. They can also be available in
    prescription - but you might end up paying throug the nose.
    However, there are some online options that can produce a blu-
    blocker prescription version for much less money than from a
    local brick'n'mortar office.
