McG,
Yep, for me it started at age 45 and it does not go away, ever; of course the reality is that your eyes will continue to slowly deteriorate no matter how many miles of exercise etc are completed! The only full solution appears to be death which is a tad extreme really. The contact lens solution is worth a go - opticians generally allow trials for free to see if it works for you; one for distance and one for near-vision in each eye doesn't work for everyone  but I understand that there are bi-focal contact lens on the market as well - I have never tried them! I have just taken out my contacts after two full weeks of wear; I give the eyes a rest for a couple of days and then pop them back in - you can get used to poking yourself in the eye!! In the meantime I am back on the vari-focals which is a PITA after the convenience of lens.
