Re: Not sure I agree
For most people, sometime between age 40 and age 60 their eyes take on a fixed focal length. For people nearsighted in youth they often discover their eyesight improves with age. Those lucky enough to have their focal length freeze up at some useful distance such as 8 or 10 feet might find that they see well enough at both near and far distances to not need glasses most of the time.
That fits me to a "T" When I was a teenager my vision was 20/200 in the left eye & 20/400 in the right one. At 35 my vision had already stated going the other way 20/100 & 20/200 by 45 it was 20/20 in the left and 20/40 in the right. At age 55 I no longer needed glasses for distance just reading glasses. Which has not ckanged in the last seven years.
