I like just a little light.

Do you have blue, gray or green eyes? I have blue eyes. My brother
has brown eyes. My late mother had brown eyes.

My mother would often turn on the light over the sink when I was
washing dishes and say, "Isn't that better?" I would reply, "No,
it's just brighter. It's not better." My brother always seems to
want rooms more brightly lit than I want them.

I'm very nearsighted and the more light, the better for me. This is
because like a camera, when the iris is closed to a smaller size,
the depth of field (area in focus) is greater. I have lights all
over the place and I usually carry one or more flashlights with me
wherever I go.


Then you're farsighted.

If you need "reading" glasses, here's a trick. Get your eyes examined by a
professional and get a script for magnifying contact lenses (a "+" value).

Wear only one.



Sorry, I'm an expert on myopia going on 60 years. I wear concave not
convex lenses. My lenses move the point of focus back so the light
will focus on my retinas. I'm -9 in one eye and -6.5 in the other.
I am nearsighted. Presbyopia started bothering me around age 50 and
I often take my glasses off in order to see very close up.
