My eye doctor says he can't do anything better for my vision than my contacts combined with readers when needed. He says the drug store ones work just as good as what he sells. So I've got "cheaters" scattered all through my house, a pair in my purse, even one in the bathroom. I started out needing them for hand quilting in my mid-forties and progressed to needing them for almost everything! Sorry, but those eye muscles just get stiff with age and don't adjust as quickly as they did when we were younger.
