Yeah… older eyes play tricks on you. Since my cataract surgery, I can see up the road, 3 or 4 blocks ahead and tell you about the lovely terracotta pot with jasmine beginning to bloom, sitting on that distant neighbor's porch. But, I can't clearly read the words on the street sign immediately across from my house. I can watch TV and see things clearer than I did with glasses before the surgery. But, I can't read what I'm writing on the notepad without fumbling for my readers.
