66 yrs old, retire end of the year, Woohoo! Been wearing glasses since seventh grade, developing cataracts and some other vision issues. Will be moving into a different home in 6 months and starting a new layout. Just for me and the missus to play with, don't have the skill or the interest going for fine detail. Admire the work of those that can and do, just not for me!
71 years. I have been wearing contact lenses (hard lenses, not the squishy type that seems to be so popular) for about 60 years. I have to wear walmart reading glasses to read or work on computer. And I also add magnifier lenses on top of those when doing detail work on the model railroad or on my woodcarvings. Retired at 55 and started my first and only layout (currently 14' x 18') after my 60th birthday. So I am an old New Guy.
15 here. Have needed long-distance glasses (or whatever you call them) since I was 8. :)
Hi there,
Currently I'm 64 years old. Regarding eyesight I first received glasses when I was 8 years old. I wore them for many years until I got Lasik surgery for both eyes in 2000. I haven't had to wear glasses since then, though for close up modeling work I do like to use a hands free magnifier.
