However, the muscle that compress the crystalline-lens will become weaker by age (I hate saying this too) thus it cannot compress the lens as much as it needs to, thus the eyes cannot focus the near object.

When you visit the optometrist next time, tell him you need something for computer and reading, he should know what you're looking for.
ahhh, thanks, mr.alcheng. i will definitely note the above to my eye-doc when i see them next time. im kinda excited now that i can have glasses i can wear to my client's place.

Guys do not leave torpedo heaters unattended especially when thawing pipes. Then had 3 MVA's. Didn't get to bed until 4PM. Got up for dinner and back to bed. Then today had an ambulance call. Quite busy and it is cold out. Single to - digits.
sounds like you were super busy there, fire. thanks for looking out for the community (normal folk like me).
