I can't really help with this, as I've worn glasses since I was 6 and diagnosed with severe myopia (nearsightedness). So wearing glasses is simply a part of life to me.
I have had cataract surgery in both eyes (the joys of getting older !
) and have 20/20 vision now with glasses. I am far too cowardly ever to consider contacts...the idea of putting something in my
eye makes me queasy...I had great problems giving myself thrice daily eye drops after the surgeries! I agree with the advice of getting some magnifying reading glasses to help with the fine print until your next eye doctor visit. Good luck!
