Is it generally the case that as the eye ages it becomes less tolerant of
refractive error?
My own refractive error is small - minus 2 for each eye - but as I move
through my 40s (I'm 46) I find that the blur I could once tolerate at

difference between eye prescriptions.
Would a prescription of -2 and -3 cause enough difference to cause this

I'm 57 years old.  I wore Fluroperm 151 lenses 24x7 without problem
