A friend finally went for a visit to the optomerist. After checking his eyes the Doc moved the apparatus away and said to him "You're 43 aren't you?" My friend say "Yes, how did you know that?" The Doc replied "Everyone who needs this prescription is 43." I'm guessing you beat him by 2 years. It sounds like you are bassawkard from most folks, who can still see the size 22 dry fly on the water but cannot tie it on. Check your insurance plan and make an appointment, there are some great choices available now.
