I do that every time I walk into a room. "Why did I come in here?" ![Laughing :-DD](https://www.eevblog.com/forum/Smileys/default/smiley_laughing.gif)
I used to have senior moments. Now, it is all the time.
Face facts you old farts. You need glasses to see anything within 3 feet. Bite the bullet and get glasses with progressive lens. That way you wear them all the time and don't have to worry where you left them or have them dangling on a strap like an old spinster librarian. ![Laughing :-DD](https://www.eevblog.com/forum/Smileys/default/smiley_laughing.gif)
Yes, they take a while to get used to them but I got them years ago and never looked back. ![ThumbsUp :-+](https://www.eevblog.com/forum/Smileys/default/icon_smile_thumbsup.gif)
I have been wearing them for 20 years now. The first Rx, the Dr told me to give it 2 weeks befor I came back. I'm glad I listened. I had on and off headaches for the 2 weeks plus struggling with the different strengths. For the past few years, I have Seiko digital progressives. Much wider field of view and sharper vision. They do cost more but from my point of view, absolutely worth the cost. I will not go back to regular progressives ever.

Not in my case; I need glasses to see anything further away than my elbow. I've lived with this defective vision and Coke-bottle-bottom glasses (or contacts so high a scrip I have to special order them) all my life.

There's more than one reason I've learned to "see" with my fingertips; it's not JUST that being a mechanic you're ALWAYS working BEHIND something that's in front of you...
I learned that skill back in the early 90's doing car stereo, alarm and mobile cell phone installs as a side gig. I am not blind but I do have amblyopia. Outside of the progressives, left lens is basically glass, right lens and sunlight and I can set the lawn on fire.

. Vision aside, the dexterity I learned now allows me to easily repair the granddaughter's cheap costume jewelry necklaces and their almost microscopic links with my penis fingers. Mrs GreyWoolfe gets a kick out of watching me because it still amazes her that I can fix something that small with hands as big as I have. We won't mention the precision tweezers, pliers and headband magnifier that help.
