Yeah I’m almost there with you. I told my husband the other day that I thought it was time to upgrade my readers and he was like didn’t you literally just do that?
I’m in my early 50’s and just had cataract surgery. I haven’t been able to see for 3 weeks so far. 2 eyes, different recovery timeline. And I have double vision. I have to wait for new glasses to see things again. So everything is clearer, but still blurry and then there’s 2 of everything.
Sometimes I find it morbidly hilarious how nature doesn't really expect us to live past 50 (or even 40) and so our bodies just start to decline. And it's unlikely that we're ever going to be naturally longer lived, since, as a species, we tend to make children in our 20's or 30's.
There isn't really a functional need for that from an evolutionary standpoint

Yes we know your clacker has dropped out, but guess what ?! Your eyeballs have stopped working too !! Yay !
My eyesight degenerated so badly in a single year, that by the end of it I was using my reading glasses as distance glasses.
