Vision is a precious sense to everyone, but the gift of sight is often taken for granted until some deterioration is noticed.It is not uncommon for people to begin to find that despite never having had to wear spectacles or use contact lenses during their 20’s and 30’s, suddenly in their 40’s or beyond it may become more challenging to read up close or in the distance.
In previous generations, this would inevitably have required reading glasses which, despite the obvious unpopular signal that we are getting older, also creates the endless dilemma of “where have I put my glasses”! But thanks to advanced technology alternative solutions are now available to correct this visual deficit.
