Took me for a loop. That was a whiiile back.
Oh yeah, I ran around the house in my underwear, screaming "I'm going blind! My eyes, my eyes!"
Then my wife pulled the boxers off my head. Okay that was better, but I still needed reading glasses.
Funny thing, and you can believe me or not, but the loss of close-up focus improved my motorcycle driving! My biggest fault (or so they told me at classes) was looking at the road too close in front of the bike. I don't do that anymore; I can't see it! Forces me to focus further ahead, which is the correct way to ride. However, I never, ever forget the first rule of bike-riding Leave No Turn Unstoned! I credit that simple rule with over 35 years of accident free motorcycle driving. Everyone should follow it.
