The numbers were easy for me to read before I had cataract surgery.  Now I use reading glasses for close-up work, which is a minor nuisance now that I'm not also wearing a mask.  For the first time in my life, though, I can drive without glasses.  I could have spent a few thousand more for the upgraded lenses that may or may not work for close-up vision, but with no guarantees and a doubtful useful life, I went with the glasses option.  But now my favorite reading glasses are no longer available on Amazon, and one of the nose pads has fallen off.  I have the spare parts and tools to replace it, but unlike earlier occasions it is offering extreme resistance.
