I see as well as I ever did because when I don't I go to the eye doctor eand
they gives me better glasses. And I'm turning 65. I get new glasses every
two or three years and they are always a big help the new ones.
The ageing eye thing doest cut it.
Before AF Leica photographers just kept shooting Leica M cameras and never
dreamed there would  be a reason not to.
Old eyes see a Leica rangefinder patch just as well as new ones did.
They are not real hard to see like harder to see than a groundglass or
anything like that.
