Prognosis or Current State of Vision
Gave up driving last week. Can read 14 font (just).

Impact on My Life
Waiting to find out! I have told all my family, friends, colleagues, and students (to avoid misunderstandings - mainly failure to recognize faces).

Positive Effects
An interesting idea - perhaps my not driving reduces the chances of road accidents. Not reading news print that isn't magnified may avoid some of the anxiety associated with the current political situation!

Adaptations
Magnifying lenses, dark glasses in sunlight, short focal length reading glasses (with adaptive prism), having my wife drive whenever possible, use of taxis.
