Focus On Aging: Contacts

Getting older is no fun. Sure, you get a load of wisdom to offset the physical degeneration, but it’s a dicey trade. The approach of 40 or 50 brings with it reoccurring bouts of blurred vision and hard to read menus and New York Times bestsellers. What was it that Tom Clancy wrote? Too bad you can’t make it out unless you hold it at arm’s length. Sure, a pair of reading glasses would do the trick, but why subject yourself to that kind of embarrassment?

For better or worse, most people don’t associate middle age with hiking, biking, and participating in the Iron Man. With a pair of multi-focal lenses all this rallying against Old Man Time is made all the more possible. You’d be hard-pressed to find a pair of reading glasses on a tri-athlete.

After months of squinting and making sure they’re not suffering from some greater ailment, most people are inclined to hunt down a pair of bifocals. This is not a bad idea, but it has it’s limits. First off, bifocals are never fashionable. Secondly, when people find out you’re wearing them they tend to look at you differently. They start to think you need help getting down the stairs and start shouting, thinking you’re hearing aid might be on the fritz.

Save yourself an awkward beat and staring dolefully into the camera. Instead of opening that can of worms, you’d be better off getting fitted for a pair of multi-focal contacts. They are customized to fit the shape of your eye while still giving you the benefits of a sturdy pair of reading glasses. They are designed in such a way that they deliver a natural transition in vision. The transition is seamless and effortless.

There is no need to welcome soft middle age with open arms. A hardy and hale physical workout schedule, coupled with a pair of multi-focals is all you need to a leg up until your Seventies. Thirty years of great health and sharp vision are more precious than gold. Well, almost.

Investing in a pair of multi-focal lenses is a good way to start fighting back. You don’t have to go gently into the dark night. Get active, get contacts, and get back into the swing of things.
