oh man, you again?

I've heard some kind of crazy rumor that your eyesight is supposed to start getting a little better on its own around age 25. Other's seems to have done that. Mine, on the other hand, continues to go downhill steadily. It's been years since I could extend my arm all the way and see my hand clearly without glasses. Now I can see, without glasses, a bit less than six inches in front of my nose. And it's clear that these glasses aren't cutting it anymore, because other people seem to be able to see things more than ten feet away much more clearly than I can.

It's probably my fault for doing so much closeup work, namely knitting and reading. I could try to do less of that and preserve the vision a bit, or I could binge on it and do as much as possible before I cease to be able to see anything. I've been compromising, kind of, by doing as much knitting without looking as possible. Stockinette for everyone!
