i have that too
i also have adult onset strabismus (basically cross eyes / dbl vision)
i also have kerataconus (had to get cross linking surgery to fix it)
also the druzen in the back of my eye are apparently too inflamed for my age, so i am forced to see a retina specialist once a year to ensure i do not develop early onset macular degenration (basically blindness).

sucks breh but at least you figured all of this out before it got really bad. you'll get used to wearing reading glasses if you haven't already. it's nbd.

i was at the glasses store today and told the person behid the counter "you think i should just get bifocals?" - im kind of resigned to it at this pt myself
Not sure I care a ton about bifocals, basically all bifocals are no-line these days & I already wear glasses every day. So it's not like I'd be clocked as any older.
It's pretty minor so far for me. Occasionally taking off my glasses to see things better. Mildly more difficult tying on fishing hooks. Etc.
Also it's quite difficult to make out the per-ounce price on the new e-ink shelf tags at Walmart. But those are so bad I suspect a young'un with healthy vision would have trouble. At least I hope that's the case.
