I wear hard (semi-rigid) contacts, with non-Rx wrap-around sunglasses for riding (and airboating ). I tuck my readers in their hard case in my jersey pocket for the "just in case" factor. Although I can change a tire without them.

OP here, with a strange update to my situation. For the past couple of weeks, I haven't had to remove my glasses to see up-close. The main thing that changed was I stopped sleeping with a blindfold. After a couple of nights without it, I realized I hadn't been taking my glasses off to solder at work.

I also started doing some eye exercises that I remembered from a yoga class. I'm not sure if either of these things this is what's helping my vision, but my eyes have also been less dry and itchy. My vision isn't as good as it was 6 months ago, but it's better than when I started this thread, and some days are better than others. Maybe this is just the way it happens? From your experiences, were there good and bad days, or was it a steady progression into vision loss?

There's a yoga studio nearby that is offering a holistic eye class in April, which I'm going to take. It can't hurt to learn more about my eyes, and maybe I'll be able to slow this down for a bit longer.
