Magnification for cooking from a recipe book

Hi Louise,

If you magnify webpages before printing and they’re OK, it does sound like your specs are no longer the right prescription for you.

When did you last have your eyes checked?

A number of years ago, I had laser-surgery to correct my short sightedness. I was told at the time that as I got older (typically when I reached my 50’s) my eyesight would change and I’d almost certainly become long-sighted and need reading-glasses, and my close-up vision would be quite poor.

As predicted, I now require glasses for reading, computer use and close-up vision (…so a totally different prescription to my teenage short sightedness). My long-distance sight is brill, so vision for outdoor stuff etc. is better than it’s been for years .

Just to illustrate that things change for all of us as time goes by !!
