Apparently, it's because the lenses in your eyes never stop growing and as they get bigger, they get harder for the eye muscles to distort in order to change focus.

And it's a b****

Yes getting old is ruff! What I found through research is that as you get older, the thickness of the lens shrinks. I finally had the corrective lens restriction removed from my license last year. Ever since being 12 years old I required correction for nearsightedness. Now I have a half frame pair of bifocals. The top part is for viewing the computer monitor. The bottom is for reading. They work quite well. No more headaches due to eyestrain after a few hours staring at the monitor. With the half frame I just look over the top for looking around (distance vision).

In my case, i googled an issue with my phone and it led me here. I went directly to my device specific forum and read (A LOT)... Once i got to the point of needing to ask a question, i registered and asked the question there...

Honestly, in the beginning, i didn't know most of the forums existed... Especially intros

I suspect this is the case with many others too

That's how I started here.

 

[Dngrsone]

I usually don't go to Intro forums when I join... I can be found in a lot of forum sites and I don't need my hand held (nor do I need a post count).

Maybe that's a bad attitude, but, well... I'm not a social person.

 

[sfbloodbrother]

There's also many others who just don't bother posting in certain sub forums. If people just come here to ask one question then they are done with these forums. Sadly that's how it probably works.
How many active members do we have on the forums.?

Huh, I would never challenge you about a beloved family member.
You haven't mentioned anything about her since the surgery comment and I was and am concerned for her.
