When you get cataracts, ask the surgeon to ensure that the prescription for the new lens in your eye leaves you not needing glasses for reading, only for distance. You then keep your driving glasses in your handbag, except when in the car, and another pair in the living room near the tv.
That works until DS and family arrive, we all go out for the day. I forget to take my glasses off getting out of the car and put them in my handbag then later take them off to look closely at something on a shop counter, put them down and forget to pick them up again (at least, I think that is how I lost them).
However that is just once in over 10 years since my cataract op.
