Finally got to the point that readers are a necessity. I've found out that they are never where I thought they were, drinking coffee with them on steams them all up, and if you don't close your eyes when you remove them the earpiece is really rough on the old eye balls. Can't wait to se what happens in the next 10 years[:(]

You'll need to buy you about 5 or 6 pairs. One to put near where you sit and read, one pair in each of your vehicles, one pair on your work bench etc. That's what I have done over the years it keeps me from hunting the house over looking for them.
Finally gave up and bought bifocals a few weeks ago. It has been a bit of a struggle to get used to them, but I do not have to take off and on my glasses 50 times a day anymore.
Bought 4 pairs of glasses. Two normal bifocals, 2 pair bifocal safety glasses, and 1 single prescription sun glasses. Doc told me that I had extremely early stage cataracts forming. Apparently spending a lot of time outdoors without sunglasses is not the smartest thing to do.

Same here. I never needed glasses my entire life then I hit 52 and BAM! I cannot see to read and my arms aint long enough.
I went to Sam's club and I bought a case(12) sets of 1.5x glasses. Then I put them wherever I do anything to include a set in the visor of all my vehicles.
I refuse to hang them around my neck..............so far[:D]
My eyes did a 180. I used to wear glasses to see things in the distance and I could read just fine. In the past 3 years they've reversed. I can see fine at a distance but now I can't see crap up close. I liked it better before I believe.
That happened to me after I got the cataracts removed. The doctor forgot to tell me I would need glasses after the procedure. When I went in for the follow-up exam I told him I thought I was going to need reading glasses. He said "I know you are". He told me he could give me a prescription for reading glasses that would cost me two or three hundred dollars or I could go to Walgreens or Walmart and get a pair off the rack for two or three dollars. I told him I liked two or three dollars better.
A year or so later I wound up needing bifocals. I made the mistake of getting the no line. Now I have the traditional bifocals. It's a world of difference. I'm even starting to get used to wearing them, except when I want to rub or scratch an eyelid I forget to take them off.

Always there when I need them now, and have bought 4 pair in 6 or 7 years. Two of which I used parts to make one, so I currently have three pair. One on right now, spare in gear bag and rebuilt pair in drawer at home. IMHO, they are more than worth the money spent. Your mileage may vary.

I also have a couple pairs in my fishing tackle boxes, shooting bag, hunting vest, and my pack I carry when hunting!
I take no chances!
I think they are just making things smaller than they used to.
And that makes it harder to see/read.
I know belts are certainly smaller than they were 20 years ago. By several inches.
