Sadly, that is gone. At least it is for me. Yes and squinting doesn't help. I bought a pair of readers 350 for those few times I REALLY need to see something itty bitty. I suspect I might miss that really up-close ability. For maybe five minutes. I'll trade that for better distance vision!

I tried quoting and can't get it to work, but re: close up vision. If I have to get a splinter out or read tiny print, etc, I have a pair of 3x reading glasses I wear. I asked my dr if I needed prescription lenses and he said the $ store ones will work just fine. So I have those scattered about- by my bed, at the office, in my car, etc. But on an ongoing basis I don't miss that close up vision.

I've lived for so long with the INability to see anything clearer than a blob from farther away than, like, 2-3 feet for such a long time, I have the feeling I might not miss that close-up ability, either. lol. (I've tried to explain before what that's like to my DH-- but he just doesn't understand that no, I truly CAN'T see things any clearer than a blob of color, I truly CAN'T see the clock, I truly CAN'T see that speck of dog hair or dirt, etc.)

In about 1916 when uncle was 6 yrs old my grandmother took him to the eye doctor. After getting glasses while riding home on the trolly all he did was look around asking if that was how everyone could see.
He had never been able to see well.

I remember the time I was in the shower and my dh came into the bathroom. I'd set my towel on the side of the sink and he set his glasses (that he wears only to correct a slight astigmatism) on top of the towel while he was shaving or whatever he'd come in there for. I reached out of the shower for my towel, grabbed it, and his glasses went flying. He kept asking me "didn't you see my glasses there? ?" and he just couldn't believe it when I said I hadn't seen them, not even a little bit. Finally I asked him if he thought I was the type of person to deliberately cause another person's glasses to go flying across the room. Because that was the only other alternative. That shut him up.
