Don\'t worry about the glasses MPJ, I got my first pair about 3 weeks ago. I\'d stopped painting a while ago now, and I realised that one of the reasons was because I just couldn\'t focus. I think I was in denial! I tried a friends glasses on and was gobsmacked at what a difference they made.
So....here I am with my specs and having an equally hard time adjusting to them They are great for close up stuff, reading and VDU work but as soon as I look up, everything is blurred - looking around is a no no. The result is I kinda get seasick
I\'ve started to paint my first model in months and it\'s looking good so far So hang in there and just be thankful that you still have eyesight that allows you to paint albeit with glasses

I LOVE my contacts. The eyeball touching thing isn\'t bad when it\'s you touching your own eye, and not somebody else\'s grubby fingers in there.
I hear my patients telling me all the time, \"don\'t get old.\" As of yet nobody has been able to suggest an attractive alternative. My husband started balding when he was 16, and in the last year I have found an alarming number of white hairs. However, I look forward to each year on the horizon, and view my retirement as a time to try all the things that I should have done when I was in my early 20\'s, like hang-gliding, motorcycling, and exploring foreign countries.

In the same boat.
Tooshy and MPJ: I, too, just got my first pair of glasses 4 weeks ago. Primarily for reading and computer work, I don\'t need them for driving, so wasn\'t \"persuaded\" to buy the sunglasses in addition. Especially not for an extra $275!
I was coming to the same realization that I was putting the minis farther out for me to see detail. Just one of the many reasons I haven\'t painted anything in awhile.
NSA - GREAT list! Good points, all of them. I\'m currently going through a \"mid-life\" crisis and am questioning many things. Unfortunately, one of those things is \"why do I have so many minis?\"
