Today I was in the kitchen like most days cooking and helping when I was asked to read some instructions. I have never struggled before and always could decipher no matter how small.These were the instructions I was trying to read in a larger format than what I actually had on the can.

I could have cheated like I normally would have and used my phone to take a photo and then zoom in,but who am I kidding.I thought maybe they have changed the packaging and gone with a cost saving label and made it smaller. I needed to prove my theory and know my eyes were still great. I thought this could be plausible as everything has shrunk in size these days.
I grabbed my son in law and asked him to read the instructions. To my horror he rattled them off and proved a point. I was set up and they had learnt them off by heart. Alright I give up and admit my eyes have deteriorated over the last year or so.

I decided to Google it as they say Google is your friend.The common thing I found out is that your eyes start to deteriorate over 40 so being over 50 it is not surprising then and quite normal.I will get the glasses and leave the hearing aid for another time then.
