Frank -- My eyesight it perfect for reading. I take my glasses off when working on a computer, reading a book, ect. I do find a 1.5 or 2.0 strength reading glasses help me quite a bit when welding.
When my brother first started going blind, I took him to the Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale, AZ. A week getting evaluated at the Mayo Clinic is not cheap, but sadly there wasn't anything that could be done. I still amazed how many people tell me $200 for welding goggles, that's too expensive. It is damn cheap to protect your eyes.
