How many of you wear specs/reading glasses?

I wear reading glasses for fine print like on prescription and medicine bottle instructions. Also when the font and the background are too close for comfort. Most of the time, I do not. I have not tried contact lenses, as it is easier to reach in my purse for my glasses then fiddle around with my eyes.

i started wearing glasses in junior high, due to an accident. fell off the tailgate of a pickup truck, hit my head and damaged the main optic nerve. i have also had contacts in the past, which i loved, but since my eyesight has changed in th pat few years, actually need bi-focals, i don't wear contacts.

I have started wearing reading glasses for over five to six years.But the worst part is searching for my reading glasses with them on .

As we are not quite on the metric system here yet, we call that 20-20 and no, I started wearing glasses when quite young, and hated them of course, then switched to contact lenses, and only in recent years have I gone back to regular eyeglasses. They make them so much lighter and nicer looking now that it is less trouble to wear them than the contacts, especially since we are in a windy area with quite a bit of dust.

Hey daffodil! I wear glasses! I can't see a thing without them! I wear one pair to read and another to just plain see where I'm going! If I take one pair off I need another to find the pair that I just took off! It's really terrible! I have blurry vision all the time! I need 2 different prescriptions. I am farsighted for reading and myopic which means just to see what is in front of me! This only happened when I reached 40. When I reached 40 I started needing glasses to read only and then every year it got worse until now when I need glasses for everything. That's not bad because I went 40 years without any glasses at all!

I wear glasses and have never had the desire to wear contacts. Some people are bothered by how they look in glasses. I'm just the opposite. I think that they make me look more credible and more professional. I wouldn't consider investing in contacts but might consider the laser surgery

I am not wearing any glass or contact lens,but while using computer i wear a plain glass with out out any power to reduce the strain.

I have been wearing glasses for around ten years now and need them for seeing distant objects. I don't need to wear them while reading a book or to see the PC screen, but I do need them for TV and movies and things like that. I have never actually worn contact lenses before and have no intentions of doing so. Both my Mother and my Sister wear them from time to time but it all sounds like too much hard work to me! lol. I also don't like the idea of fiddling around with my eyes either. It would be nice to be able to wear sunglasses though!

Hello Daffodil. I wear near-sighted glasses whenever I am up, except that I am sleeping or showering. I don't like to wear contact lenses as I won't feel comfortable with something extra in my eyes. Take care, friend.

yeah i do since 1997! u get used to them

I only have contact lenses, which I rarely use. I don't own a pair of glasses because my short-sightedness is not constant. I only cant see clearly when it's school term. But when it's holiday, my eyes can slowly return to normal. But I only wear contact lenses when it's really necessary because it dries up easily and makes eyes tired.

I've worn glasses since I was 9 and I got my first pair of contacts when I was 11. So, I've had experience with both. Like others on here, I have no choice but to wear some form of lens. I'm practically blind without any. I'm very near-sided and everything is blurry without them. I can get a headache fairly easily without lenses. As for comfort it all depends on the day. If I'm driving and it's bright outside, I prefer to wear contacts because there's no glare on my glasses and I can wear any pair of sunglasses I want with them. If I'm sitting around the house on a day off I will usually wear my glasses. It all depends. Once you get used to contact lenses they're not a hassle. I can usually get mine on in about 30 seconds. So, I will wear either or depending on the day and how ambitious I am!

Ya i wear spects because i have short sight and its very difficult for me to read without my glasses but i got these glasses not because of reading too much but by watching Telivision too much

Most I wearing is specs, because when I 1st time wearing contact lenses when I was study at secondary school, it damn hard to reading, not because of its quality is because of it sharp! It make my eye not comfortable, afterward my parents just buying for me the specs, it more easy to take it off!

I wear glasses when I am working on the computer. I can see close up fine but not at a distance so when working on crafts, I prefer not to wear glasses or contacts. I wear contact lenses when I am out for the evening or driving at night. If I do detailed work with my contacts in, I need reading glasses. It sounds confusing and maybe I'm not making myself real clear here. Bottom line is I wear both.

I started wearing glasses when I was about 22. I switched to contacts which I prefer for practical reasons, but since I had an infection in my eye I'm not allowed to wear contacts anymore. I'll be picking up a new pair of glasses tomorrow, after which I'll switch between glasses and contacts. Contacts take a bit of getting used to. Even then they aren't always comfortable, but for the most part I'm used to them. The only problem is they can dry out your eyes very quickly.

i wear glasses for reading, which is sad because i feel like my mother when i use them and im only 18. They are square charcoal black frames, they are kinda boring. my favorite glasses however, are my sunglasses. OAKLEYS!! I love them, orange polarized lens, metalic ruby red frames with white ear sleeves...

i wear glasses. I never tried contact lenses before because i think they are a bit troublesome to put on. Glasses just make me look much more professional even though now i suck at what i am doing now....

I never knew what vision my eye was, or is, but I know I don't wear reading glasses. I'm suppose to be wearing glasses right now now so I can see far away, but my glasses were broken during a tornado. I accidentally step on them while I was running to hide from the tornado.., but I'm getting some more when I take my vision test over.

i think for every person the eyesight will not be equal to 6/6 so there will be some kind of error for every person . i was wearing the specs but now i am not using it completely and using it only partly when my eye gets stressed . i think some people might be using the specs like me
