I went from no eye problems to I can't see very well at any distance in short order, although I have worn glasses since I was ten. Now I mostly just take my glasses off and hold things close to my face.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15428727065347379281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2874877056919928739.post-13975049434255117512017-02-18T08:24:14.070-08:002017-02-18T08:24:14.070-08:00Those look great!
