Reagan wrote a lot of his own stuff. He was one of the first people who wore contact lenses in the US. When he was giving a speech he would use index cards that had the speech highlights on them. Reagan would pop out one contact lens and look at the crowd with one eye while reading the card with the other.
See the book “Reagan In His Own Hand” for more.
“Reagan would pop out one contact lens and look at the crowd with one eye while reading the card with the other.”
I’ve known people who’ve done a similar thing, i.e., have ones contact for far vision, and one for reading. I tried that, but couldn’t get my brain to cooperate.
When my aunt had cataract surgery, she had one IOL for far and one for reading.
