I have worn bifocals in the past, but at the present, I don't.
Some of my vision issues are likely residual effects of my brain injury.
I have days when my uncorrected vision up close is crystal clear, mixed with some days when even a magnifying lens is useless.

One of my compensating strategies is to do most of my computer viewing on a very large screen so I don't have to strain to see it.

As I have said, even when I could still see a smaller screen, navigating this site on a phone seemed to be lacking in some aspects, so I pretty much gave up on it early on.

Your brain must have compensated so you dont have presbyopia(old sight) i do :nomouth: i also have brain damage from an infection but was extremely myopic(short sighted) before laser correction

I truly can't answer that, but thank you for your insight and added information.
I guess now I may have to further investigate it just for peace of mind if nothing else.

my mother was considered legally blind in her left eye ,from exposure to light during an infection and forty years later ,an opthalmologist said ,she didnt need prescriptive spectacles, as her brain had compensated ,by altering the sight in the right eye !.
