I definitely held on to the very last dazzle, maybe one dazzle more than I should have, and I had to get reading glasses within 8 months. But I also just hit 42 so I’m guessing it’s that.
To my understanding, as you age, the lenses becomes less flexible and harder to focus, making it more difficult to see text up close. Retinal damage from the sun, on the other hand, would burn spots in your retina that would leave little blind spots that are uncorrectable by glasses.
You can rest assured you probably don’t have significant damage from the eclipse, but instead, your body, like all of our bodies, is slowly deteriorating with the ever marching passage of time.

Have a nice weekend, stanger!
100% true. Can’t also forget about nearly everyone getting cataracts by the time they’re in their 60’s!
