I had pretty good eyesight all my life until I went to professional school in my 40’s, where I had to read ~300-400 pages a day, plus my day job! I fought the conventional wisdom that we need more light as we age, but at some point I got more light on the case as I was working on the cars, and BAM – life changed. I’m now looking at 70 late this year, and I can tell you “they” are right. As we age, we need magnitudes more light to see the same things we saw when younger. I don’t fight it, it’s just the way it is.
