I have had to opposite problem. I can read fine up close, it's those darn road signs I have trouble reading. I do most of the driving in our family, so I always have to ask "What does that sign say?" if I don't know exactly where I am going. I have glasses, but I made the mistake of getting 'progressive' lenses. Don't ever get those, they will drive you crazy. So, needless to say, I don't wear them. Money well spent, lol.
