For me it was about 44 years exactly.
Science don't really know why the lens stays soft/supple for the remaining 2.0% [leastwise, when I read up on the subject, @ about 44 Y.O].

I wasn't prepared. I thought it was one of those things that only happened to other people. Had someone told me a few years ago I'd be wearing grandpa glasses to read the writing on medicine bottles, or the cooking instructions on food etc, I would've laughed.
Fortunately the computer monitor still sits just outside the no-focus zone. Hopefully it'll stay there.
