Been there, done that, got the glasses. When I was as young as you are, I
had to have my roomate come into the shack and read color codes on those tiny
1/4watt resistors. When I finally visited an Opthmologist, he asked me what
the trouble was. I told him my arms were too short. He looked puzzled and
then asked me what I meant by that. I told him that everything I wanted to
read had to be held out at arms length to be able to focus on the print. He
asked me how old I was and when i said 42, he said; "OH, well welcome to the
club!"
He was a ham too, but it's been so long ago, I've forgotten what he told me
his call was, K6 something or other..
