Glasses?

[*Gullsworth*]

At the grand old age of 45 have just started wearing glasses......for reading.
So do you wear glasses and at what age did you start?

i have been wearing glasses from the age of 12, but i only wear them for driving - and only really need to wear them at night as my eye sight is generally buggered in artifical light

Have needed glasses for nearly 25 years, started wearing them about 9 months ago. Hate them.

I hate people who wear glasses.

I don't but probably should do, having worked in IT for over 20 years. Ought to get tested sometime.

My eye sight is alright, but i need a test I guess.

Where is the option for that?

I'm sure I need glasses but can't be arsed to get an eye test and don't want to have to waste cash on buying glasses.

I thought i had brilliant eyesight untill about a year ago when small print became a little blurred.........now on wearing glasses for the first time cannot believe how much i needed them!!

Always had 20:20 vision fortunately - I had considerable self control when I was a teenager

Are you calling me a W*nker?

 

[eastlondonseagull]

None of the above. I need glasses for long distance only (ie. driving, cinema etc)

 

[rospants]

driving and watching tv

I suspect I would be the same. Have noticed myself holding the newspaper a little further away from my eyes when on the train. Also, at home when reading a jar label or something, I have to hold it up to the window for extra light - I feel like my grandad.

au contraire... to reach the ripe old age of 45 without needing bins you must have as equally hair-free palms as I do !

 

[Meade's Ball]

My glasses can't read, but i still wear them for most of the day. I squinted determinedly for around 12 years until i were 30, then went goggle shopping. It was a sickener at first, but now they give me a strangely more assured identity. Well, not now, with all the brain damage, but before that, being clearer in sight and judgement and of what shone in mirrors when i stared. I also felt it handed me a smidgeon of authority. Probably like Professor Yaffle, leaping from the shelves and end of books to tell people what's what, and how they should begin and end. I became a full-stop, and sometime exclamation mark.

Been wearing them for watching tv or using the PC for about 6 years now. Thats when I first noticed I was having to squint to read ceefax!
