my eyes have different refractive powers, and I have gotten glasses for them several times over the years, but never wore them because the solution to that is bifocals and I didn't want to look like an old person, so I kept lying to myself that my vision is fine, actually, because I can read stuff without help. The eye doctor even said that I didn't need them, but it's close
I'm getting close enough to 50 now that my eyes have decided to drift further apart in what they can focus on, which I can still deal with, but I was tired of paying for eye coverage on my insurance and not using it, so I got new bifocals a year ago and decided to start wearing them at work.
I expected the clearer vision, and I got it, but I also didn't realize that a big reason that I felt so tired at the end of a long day was because my eyes were struggling to focus, which is exhausting. Just admitting that I should wear glasses at work has made such a huge difference that I'm annoyed with myself that I didn't do this two decades ago
