    Yep, you are at that age. Mine went fast, I first noticed it while in fancy dim lit restaurants trying to read the menu. After you figure out what power you need and get tired of loosing and breaking multiple pairs, try these. Name:  IMG_1098.JPG

    I have to use 1.5 readers to read almost anything, but I can tie knots without them. Go figure.

    I have script glasses that I never wear, I just stay away from Flouocarbon line (stuffs invisable) hi vis line is what I like, when I tie a bunch of trolling rigs, I lay a black towel on the table which helps a lot.

    Thanks for all the replies. My brother has a pair of those magnetic glasses. My fat head is too wide for them. LOL

    Get the lowest power ones that work for you. Otherwise, you might get headaches.

    Are you saying the knot is tough or getting the line through the eye is tough? The eye is hard for me and if its sunny out, sometimes it makes it harder especially with light jigs.

    Take a piece of your line with you to one of the Dollar stores.

    All of us reach the point where our arms are no longer long enough. I, like others have stated here, have a pair of Walmart readers. But I only use them when I want to see something. Happy New Year to all!!
    Yes, as a matter of fact, I do have a retirement plan...FISHING!

    Stop by your local dollar store , buy a couple pair. in different strengths and see what works best for knots then order a pair of the magnetic clics in that power., I'm 73 tried every thing imaginable , shirt pockets , tackle boxes , lanyards , croakies , strings , necklaces , ex-wives ..$ 30 for a pair of clics some of the best moneyI ever spent . Works for me
