The DMV only tests your distance vision. Reading starts going at 38, is noticable by 40, and becomes a problem at 42. Your ability to focus at different lengths dissipates as your lens hardens from years of growth. If you can read just fine at 44, your distance isn’t as good as you think. If you’re distance vision is fine, you’re the guy holding his menu at arms length in a restaurant.
You’ll notice when something is up when:
-your phone is hard to see unless you hold it out further.
-you ever find yourself complaining about fine print.
-driving at dusk or in the rain is uncomfortable.
-you get tension headaches at the base of your skull from squinting out your astigmatism.
