At what age do people start using magnifying glasses to read newspapers, books, maps, products' directions of use, etc?
I think what you are describing is getting far-sighted, where the focus of your eyes becomes weaker so things close up are hard to see. This begins to happen to some around age 40 and continues to get worse!
Agreed duffsmom! It depends on the lighting also. Don't you hate when people try to show you a pic on those digital cameras and they put it right up to your face? I say "whoa, drop that back a bit...I can't see that!"

A lady never reveals her age, but I think duffsmom has it about right.

My eye doctor claims to be able to tell a person's age within a couple of years just by looking at their prescription, and not any personal information on their chart.
Even if you cannot afford prescription eyeglasses, there are over-the-counter readers in several strengths available even in many grocery stores. They cost, for the most part, under $20.
