Interesting facts though in my family it went a little different.

Some of my great-great aunts ( yes, I have a big family ) lived to be centenarians. And they all had great eyesight, each and every one of them sewed or drew or read until maybe a week before they passed away. Only one of them never wore glasses :)

They all passed away because of myocardia infarction, or like we want to think it was just old age. :)
