While getting ready for work one morning I encountered somethingI can't figure out.
I wear glasses and without them objects are blurry unless I getvery close, within a few inches. I always take my glasses off whenI blow dry my hair in the morning. While standing in front of themirror in my bathroom I can see a reflection of the tv screen inthe bedroom. It is blurry when my glasses are off and much clearerwhen I put my glasses on. One morning I was interested in a show ontv whilst I was drying my hair so I figured I could watch what wasgoing on if i put my face very close to the mirror while I dried myhair. I tried but no matter how close I got to the mirror thereflected image of the tv stayed blurry. I was close enough towhere I normally can see an object clearly without my glasses. Ican't figure out why the reflection remained blurry despite mycloseness to the mirror. Why would that be?
