I have worn my glasses since I was 16 years old, It has been 36 years to date, whatever I do I always wear my glasses even if when swimming or diving, I have nothing feeling special because I have been used to it. What about you? Do you wear glasses only when reading? Thanks.

Yes, I have glasses and wear it every time I go online and face PC as well as if there's something to read or see distant objects and if I am watching TV. I started wearing glasses, in my first year of College, around 17 years old. Actually, I am not quite comfortable wearing it, I think I prefer contacts than glasses.

I got myself a pair of glasses just 2 months ago. I'm using this only when my eyes hurt especially when I'm in front of the computer. When I'm reading, I sometimes forget to use my glasses. It is only when my eyes hurt that I remember I have them. Well I'm still not used to using this. =)

I have had glasses since I was 14...am now 40. I need them for distance so I always wear them when I drive. I was also told that I should wear them while on the computer...this I tend to not do near as often as I should. Soon I will have no choice as my eyes get tired quite quickly at the computer monitor.

I have started to wear glasses when I was 12 years old. I don't like to wear glasses but it was my fault for not taking care with my eyes when I was small. There is always inconvenience when wearing glasses especially when swimming time.

Yes I have wear glasses since elementary school, But I always don't have it when I was walking, or sometimes I can read with them.

I've always had to wear glasses. I can't stand contacts.

I used to have to wear glasses. The first was from the time I was 11 or 12 to the time I was 13; and I was told that I need to wear glasses again, which was from the time I was 15 or 16 to about 17 or so. But now I don't need to wear glasses anymore.

If wearing glassses has ever stopped you from participating in a sport - good news! There are correction swim goggles positive and negative correction. The best part you cannot tell the difference between them and regular swim goggles only you can see better! http://stores.ebay.com/Gordons-Electronics-and-Swim-Store

I new I needed glasses in the ninth grade when I was 15, but didn't get them until 7 years later and I have been a full time wearer for over 30 years.
