Of course not. You should have reading glasses and a bow tie.

HA!

I don't wear reading glasses. And I don't think I could pull
off wearing a bow tie.

I *do* slip on a pair of 0+ blu-blocker glasses when I feel
that my extensive staring at the screen would affect me for
the worse. I find that those glasses make a huge difference
in reducing dry-eyes and restoring normal sleep pattern.

I will post "Mask, Version 2" shortly.

How can you work in a book shop then?

I need something like that. Screen glare and night glare both kill me.

HA! Over the years, whenever I would feel that I can't focus
properly (distance or closeup) I do some eye exercises that
the campus doctor recommended for me when I was in university.
I'm the only relative among 14 cousins, and now 8 younger 2nd
cousins, that doesn't need reading glasses. My aunts, uncles,
and members of my own family started to need glasses in their
30s. This can't be a magic gene. I am convinced that the
exercises have maintained my good eyesight.

I've never tried the clear blu-blockers for night driving.
Normally, there is a bit of glare from oncoming headlights.
The glasses are polarized, so the glare may reduce that.

But a micro-pitted windshield on an older vehicle can also
contribute to glare.

I'm looking to get another pair so that I don't have to lug
the single pair between my shop and home. They are an
inexpensive solution (my pair were about $35 after shipping)
for dry eyes from extended LCD screen viewing (even for
evening TV) and you get your sleep back.

August,

I don't wear reading glasses. And I don't think I could pull
off wearing a bow tie.

I wore glasses for over 40 years, being severely nearsighted.
When I had to stop driving at night at 35, it was discovered that
I had cataracts. The visual acuity was 20/2000 -- but after the
surgery with intraocular lens implants, it improved to 20/20.
However, I have to use reading glasses when looking at the
smartphone, documents, or at the computer. Or, as the late Red
Skelton noted as Clem Kadiddlehopper, Doctor Of Fool-ology, noted,
"I don't really need these. But, I've reached the age where
curiosity is greater than vanity". <G>

I've been dealing with the eyes being too dry or too watery
lately. Part of it may be spending too much time at the computer,
watching YouTube Videos of military personnel coming home to
surprise their families...or their girlfriends, with a marriage
proposal.

I've never heard of anyone having cataracts at such a young
age. You are quite the anomaly.

Back in those days, wearing glasses had a sigma. Now, vanity
is quite the factor for looking good in the right frames!

Try a blu-blocker pair. They can also be available in
prescription - but you might end up paying throug the nose.
However, there are some online options that can produce a blu-
blocker prescription version for much less money than from a
local brick'n'mortar office.

Quite the anomaly in so many ways, unfortunately. I came into
the world at 2 1/2 pounds, and 2 months premature...but, I've
made up for lost time. <G> My late Mom was bleeding so bad, that
she nearly died (they had to deliver me by C-Section), and I was
nearly stillborn.

As long as I can see, I don't care what they look like. It's like
my dentures, which I've worn for over 20 years now. I didn't care
what they looked like...I just wanted to be able to eat. A local
business, Affordable Dentures, got me a full upper and lower set,
for just under $500...and the latest set has lasted at least 5
years. They fit so perfectly, that I haven't had to use one drop
of Fixodent, PoliGrip, etc. However, I have to be careful when I
sneeze, so they don't fly out of my mouth. :P

I have severe sleep apnea, but with sinus drain and hacking
(they can't figure out why it flares after meals, and when I
go to sleep (for a nap or overnight)), I can't wear the mask.
I hack like a cat with repeated hairballs (is there a human
version of Meow Mix?? <G>), or a 20 pack a day smoker. Yet,
I've never smoked or used tobacco...or drank alcoholic beverages
in my life. I can't see how folks can afford them. On very rare
occasions, my late wife would have a "rum and Coke"...with 99%
Coca-Cola, and 1% Jamaica White Rum (she was born in Kingston).
She mainly took it when she wasn't feeling well...she slept like
a rock all night, and was fine the next day.

Just for grins, we stopped off at a local liquor store, thinking
of buying a bottle. We about flipped over the price. I asked her
Dad why the price was so high, and he said one word: "Imported".
My mother-in-law passed away late last month.
