How good is your vision after 40?

Not bad. I shoot rifles with metallic sights at 100-200 yards with no problems. I do have contacts and vision is corrected to about 20/20.

I've had to wear glasses since I was 8 (near-sighted). The last several eye exams I've had since hitting my 40s haven't shown any noticeable changes.

Same here, except I was 10. My vision issues have nothing to do with my age.

My eyesight started going bad at 30 heh. Mostly astigmatism in the right eye. Most everyone has it but mine was bad enough for correction. Best thing was that the headaches stopped. I dont use glasses all the time but if I don't use them for part of the day the headaches from strain return. I've been waiting for laser eye correction to improve and plan on doing that at some point. Left eye aint so bad, I can read with it but it's still a bit fuzzy. When I was younger I had it but as you age your eye muscles weaken ya know. I used to have headaches as a teen but didn't find out why until my late 20's. I think I only had one eye strain headache this year.

yup at the good ole age of 46 I wear glasses with bifocals, but I too been wearing glasses since I was 8 and in a bifocal by the time I reached the age of 26. Oh it don't bother me none to be in a bifocal ppl says it makes me look intellegent.

I have good vision, and don't need glasses.

I've worn glasses for quite a few years, but it seems like after I turned 45, I started having to get my glasses changed more often. Right now, I'm waiting on an appointment later this month to get an eye exam for new perscription. Can't wait to see again!!!!

I, too, have been wearing glasses since I was ten. When I turned forty, I had to buy the progressive lenses. They have part for nearsighted and part for reading. I don't feel sorry for anyone new to wearing glasses. Try being a teenager with glasses back in the seventies.

Sure does seem like after I turned 42 (2 yrs ago) my eyesight took a turn south a bit. I'm sure that's pretty normal especially when one works with computers for a living and is an avid reader such as myself.

Bless you all! Good question Robert!
