On reading glasses and focus
2009 May 24
An observation made while wearing reading glasses
As I’ve gotten older my eyesight has grown weaker. Not too long ago, I bought some reading glasses to help me focus and found they help in more than the intended fashion.
The glasses do a fine job of bringing the work before me into focus, but they perform a second unintended duty of throwing everything around me besides my work out of focus. This not only helps my aging eyes focus on my work, but by casting a haze over what isn’t it in the focal point it helps my mind as well.
