A few months ago, I found this tidbit on the Internet:

“As people age, the lens of the eye becomes less elastic, losing its ability to focuson objects up close. This process, called presbyopia, is a natural part of aging, and affects nearly everyone over the age of 40.”

“Yeah,” I said when I read it, “maybe everyone over the age of 40 who isn’t awesome. But not me.”
