I was slightly farsighted for decades. More recently, my distance vision is less good—supposedly 20/20. Been wearing reading glasses for 20+ years, which I don’t mind, but I want my distance advantage back! I hope getting cataract surgery will do that, when the time comes. Eye doc said mine were in only the first stage of cataracts, snd that most people wait till vision is awful before choosing surgery.
Astigmatism is present, also.

With me, it was spending all day staring at a computer screen for work. That was the beginning of the noticeable decline.
Good advice for giving eyes a chance to stop fixating on near distance (computer): Every 20 minutes max, take 20 seconds to look at something 20’ away. I started doing that when shooting, but with distances pushed farther out. The idea is to not focus too long on one distance.

And to be honest on that was never had issue with the old crt screens seems it come on with the use of lcd/ flat screens that replaced them.

Did not know that.. I'd thought as early as you can as prevention.. interesting.
I read this thing about a s doctor that went to Africa to a area where the folks eyes failed at a high rate and he put them on a vitamin 'A" regiment and it turned things around. Maybe i should go with that vitamin A and see of it corrects mine as there.

My eye doctor said that in less wealthy countries, people develop cataracts earlier because fhey lack good sunglasses. No joke to me, so I don’t mind spending $$$ for sunglasses with high % of UV screening.

Yes, they actually have either bifocal or progressive intraocular lenses, but the cost is rather high. I cannot remember exactly but those special lenses were either $2500 or 5000 for each eye, It's been a couple of years. The VA paid for mine, and Insurance covered my wife's, for standard single focal lenses only. If you double those figures for taking care of both eyes, my thinking was I could buy a lot of good reading glasses or progressives for distanct to reading for that total price.,

I dont know . It's known that companies or whoever charges the VA and insurance company the lowest possible prices and never over change them ..
