I was 20:13 both when younger, still a bit better than 20:20 now.
Sadly, my near vision is a different story. Five years ago, at an
optometrist appointment, I could read the same small print as my 9 and
6 year old children. I was using 1024X768 on a 14" monitor. I worked
in electronics repair, and rarely needed a magnifier. I'll be 49 next
month, and need 1.5 on the left eye, and 1.75 on the right, just to
read or use a computer (1024X768 on a 17" or 19" monitor).

I believe there are 3 factors involved here...

1-Natural aging
2-Getting out of the repair business (if you don't use it, you lose
it)
3-Prematurely becoming dependent on the reading glasses... YMMV :-)
