What do stylish women of a certain age do about sodding reading glasses. Or the issue of needing them. I don't see the likes of Liz Hurley wandering around with granny specs on a cord around her neck (not that I am trying to model my style on La Hurley, but you see where I am coming from). I am naturally short-sighted so generally wear contact lenses. Then have to shove reading glasses on top to read which is a pain in the extreme - whipping the wretched things on and off. Have varifocal glasses which is fine, but not great if you want to do sport or if it's sunny. Have tried some varifocal contact lenses ,but they were pretty hopeless. IS THERE a solution????.

GlowWine - love the name by the way!

I think it is the best thing I have ever done, there is nothing worse than having to keep putting reading glasses on for everything other than looking at distance.

When I had the laser done for short sight I never thought I would end up with problems reading even though I was warned, I didn't realise the day to day implications on just about everything from shopping to cooking etc.

I would love the cataract things done where they replace the lens but have read a lot of people still need reading glasses which would defeat the purpose. I do worry how i will manage with contacts in another 20 years if I am still around and old and decrepit LOL.
