Same thing happened to me about 15 years ago and the doc said I was
presbyopic; I tried to correct him by explaining that Buddhism was my
interest at that time.

Hey, the last time I visited by eye doctor he diagnosed me with something
that I
can't pronounce for the world. Therefore I gave him the "HUH!!" statement.
He
replied that it was only a large name for forty and promptly placed
bi-focals on
my face. Well I hate to admit it too, but they have helped.
BTW: I really don't appreciate it when replies from the list wrap in funny
places, but then I know it's my mail package (something ancient from a
company
named Lotus called CCMail) and not the list. Therefore I don't get angry at
you
all about it.

I have worn glasses since I was 8 years old, the only thing I don't need
them for is the computer and reading.
But thanks for trying,
Ruth
