It happened to me.  I started wearing glasses at 10 years old,
and got progressively stronger prescriptions.  Left eye 20:80
right eye 20:200.  When I was nearing 40, I noticed that my
eyesight was getting better.  I got weaker glasses.  One day
I was renewing my drivers license and passed **without glasses**.
Wheee!!  I took them off and never looked back.  Eyesight now:
left eye 20:20, right eye 20:70.  I'm 57 and don't wear glasses
either for close work or distance.
