do i need reading glasses?

This weekend someone asked me if I had reading glasses, yet. The answer is yes and here's a picture of them. However, I don't really need them to read yet. I've been expecting to need them since I turned 40 (that's seven years now).

A whole slew of folks told me its all downhill post 40; but I'm still hanging in there on the presbyopia front.

In anticipation, I bought a pair of reading glasses from Boots and even out them on a chain so I can be a librarian. It struck me as odd that I bought them before I needed them, so I took a picture of them and here they are.
