   Presbyopia and or astigmatism. My big problem nowadays is astigmatism. I have to wear glasses to read student handwritten tests and printed small letters (sometimes I use a loupe for very small letters). The astigmatism is worse than presbyopia and causes me headache if I insist not wearing glasses.

     Lately, I’ve realized I hardly use my desktop anymore. After a while, it just started to strain my eyes - almost made me feel nauseous. I kept blaming the monitor or the fonts, thinking "yeah, I’ll tweak that soon".
     Meanwhile, no problem at all on the laptop.

     Then, just now, I had a sudden flash of insight. I took off the glasses I usually wear (don’t really need them, but I put them on at the computer to "rest" my eyes a bit).
     Surprise: no discomfort. So it’s either my eyesight evolving with age... or the eye doctor went a bit too enthusiastic with the prescription last year.
     Sadly, both are true 😄
