I am looking for recommendations for web sites where I can do some
general reading on vision, correction, and contacts.
I am 61. I started using reading glasses in my 40s and am now up to
about 2.50-3.00.

I have mentioned this a couple months ago but can not really believe it
is true. A person who claimed to be working as a certified optician

minor prescription to begin with, something like 0.25 power and 1.25 cylinder
in both eyes. For this go around, I think they went from 1.0 to 1.25 cylinder
