Now I see clearly

Well, it has happened at last. No, nothing dreadful. Just the inevitable effect of a design flaw. This design flaw means that something that should be able to flex has now not got as much flex in it. It goes one way, but not the other. And what does this mean? It means that no matter how hard my eye muscles pull, the lenses in my eyes just cannot focus on close objects any more. And it is a design flaw, as the lenses just will not carry on for ever doing what they did when they were younger. And so neither can I. Therefore on January 31st I was not a spectacle wearer, but on February 1st I was. Just like that. But I'm not bitter - after all now I can see clearly all those small print things that I had to hold at arms length to focus on, but which then became too small to read. Yes - the health information on most packaging was beyond my eyesight. And now I can read it, will I follow it? I don't think I'm going to change that much!
