I've had reading glasses for 20 years but only really needed to wear them since I have had an office job.

I now have everyday ones too but I'm not really needing to wear them much...if at all...at this point...

Edited to add: I always wear my sunnies  :)

The only type I ever wear is sunglasses. Does that count?

I have added that option now  ;)

Great. Because I don't wear any type of regular eyewear...not even contacts. I've been grateful to have perfect vision for the past 29 years. 8)

My parents both wear glasses (my dad wears 'em all the time, and my mom wears contacts, and also has a pair of reading glasses).

I started needing glasses to read when I was about 42. But I was in denial and hated carrying them around everywhere with me. BUt one day I realised I could no longer read the labels on clothes or menus at restaurants etc and had to bite the bullet and wear them more often.

I managed to run over my first pair of glasses....my wife was unimpressed as they cost a packet. I lost my second pair and I used over the counter magniying glasses for a couple of years. A few weeks ago I decided the magnifiers were not a good thing and got another pair of prescription glasses. I'm wearing them right now, in fact! 8)

Male vision apparently deteriorates around age 42 or so....

I've got magnifiers as a spare - but only for emergencies as my left eye is much weaker than my right so I really need my prescription ones  :P

Talking about expensive - I just got rimless/framelss ones and they cost me $500 !!!  :o :o :o

My husband got his at around 42 as well !

Well, I think my dad (and his brothers) have all been wearing glasses since they were little boys.

I hope my eyes will still be in good condition come 2022

I LOVE my glasses! :)

Yup....I have needed them since I was 14.  I wore contacts for a few years but glasses are a better fit for me.  I also have prescription sunglasses.

My brother has been wearing them since before he could walk, my Mum was a teen and Dad was around 50, from memory

I LOVE my glasses! :)


Yours a very nice from what I've seen in your pics  :)

Oh...I see!  :-[ ;D

I wear glasses.
I don't need them 24/7 - just when reading or sitting at the computer. Of course, even then it is still a fight for me to wear them. ::)
I can't wear contacts because my allergies are so ridiculous! 8-P

Nope.  I don't need them at all.  I was prescribed a pair about 8 years ago by some eye doctor for a supposed astigmatism, but never wore them because they made me sick.  I had kept them all this time however, because they were so expensive I didn't want to just throw them out.  At my last eye appointment my new eye doctor wanted me to bring in said eyeglasses and was perplexed as to why the other dude would have even prescribed glasses, as I don't have an astigmatism and my vision is perfect  :o.

Male vision apparently deteriorates around age 42 or so....

I have never worn glasses, and I'm over 42. Actually my left eye still has better than 20/20 vision. I am fortunate.

I have an astigmatism - in both eyes now  ::)

When I got my eyes checked a week ago they were pretty thorough - checking my macular, any signs of glaucoma, diabetes and sun damage. Fortunately, there were no signs of anything untoward I'm happy to report!  8)

Is that possible?  :-\\

I have perfect vision 20/20 but don't know why I squint at small words sometimes. ???

Perhaps you need to get them checked again  ???

I wear glasses only for reading.

My everyday ones are transitions but I think I might get some prescription sunglasses at some point..


I wanted transitions but they wanted an extra $100 for a pair of them.  My sunglasses only cost an extra $15 for the coating.  It was an easy decision. :D

Perhaps you need to get them checked again  ???


At one time I was 20/25 I just couldn't read a letter from the Eye Chart.

I wear contact lenses.

I first needed glasses when I was about 16 to correct an eye muscle problem.  That cured the headaches and after a couple of years I didn't need to wear them.  Then in my early twenties I needed to wear glasses to be legal for driving.  Dai always wore contact lenses so I decided to try them out.  I liked wearing them but had problems putting them in and taking them out.  I found them uncomfortable when I was pregnant and stopped wearing them for a few years.

I hated wearing glasses (mainly because the frame got twisted slightly and they rubbed my nose sore).  Eventually I tried soft lenses and found them so easy to use.  I've been using them for four or five years now

Yup.

-I wear one pair for reading/at the computer which I spend most of my time so those are the glasses I am usually wearing (which I am wearing right now). I can read without them but the glasses clarifies things for me.

-I have another pair for seeing distance which I wear when I am watching t.v. Sometimes I don't wear them when we are watching something in bed because I have seen it several times already. I also wear these when we are on the road at night and I need to navigate (don't have to worry about wearing them while I am driving because I'm sure everyone here knows that my driving days are over). I can see the road signs better with them.

-Sunglasses. I wear these just about every time I walk out the door. I have very light-sensitive eyes. Overcast days are the worse. There is such a glare and I get a wicked headache. As soon as I put the sunglasses on, the headache goes away. It is really rough when it is very dark because it is even darker with the sunglasses so I have to figure out what I want more-to see or not have a headache.  :-\\  These are NOT prescription.


Carlos & I have been talking about making an appointment to renew our prescriptions. The last place we went to, I don't want to go again because each time I went there, I was NOT impressed. He called another place back in Dec. They said they didn't have an opening until March. We didn't want to wait that long. If we did, we would have had our appointment already but as it is, we STILL haven't set anything up. lol.

I don't wear them.  I should probably get my eyes checked though.

That being said, the right pair of glasses on a woman is hot O0  8)

I don't wear glasses but I do wear sunglasses to keep my eyes away from the sun,plus it makes me look cool. ;)

Yep!

I am near-sighted and have been wearing glasses since age 24...

Both of my parents have been wearing glasses since they were youngsters...and so has my eldest brother!

Yes, to glasses, I cannot stand the idea of poking your fingers around your eyes to put contacts in.

I thought the shades were to extenuate your coolness? ???

I have glasses.  I was told I have to wear them all the time. 

Yes, to glasses, I cannot stand the idea of poking your fingers around your eyes to put contacts in.


I actually find it easy to do unless a lens sticks a bit.  Then I start overthinking the whole thing.

More squirm making - Elizabeth has a friend who wears contacts to do sport and her parents put them in for her!

Yeah also to keep my eyes from burning.

I actually find it easy to do unless a lens sticks a bit.  Then I start overthinking the whole thing.

I used to wear contacts until they began 'clouding' on me ('dailies' as well as 'disposables)...

...then it got so irritating that I gave them up!

More squirm making - Elizabeth has a friend who wears contacts to do sport and her parents put them in for her!


My 13-year-old daughter has asked if she can get contact lenses so that she doesn't have to keep wearing glasses...

The thing is, she's so irresponsible that she'll end up dropping them on the floor and then that'll be money down the drain for me and hubby!

So...I think she can wait on contacts!  

I only need glasses for reading & computer. from about 5ft. & beyond my vision is 20/20, but blurry up close. that started when i was 43-44 years old. I remember the event vividly. I was trying to read a menu at a mexican restaurant and noticed some difficulty  :( so I borrowed my friends glasses and then it got really clear so I then realized I needed my own pair. I wear Oakley sunglasses for outdoors.
about 15 years ago I had a supervisor who wore contacts and she would put them in her mouth to use her saliva to moisten them and then put them on her eys  8-P 

Yeah also to keep my eyes from burning.


Eyes on fire are hot.  Literally. :D

I wear sunglasses 95% of the time when I'm outside.  The sun's too bright.
I picked up 4 pair of Kenneth Cole shades for $20 total a few months ago.  I'm set.  8)

IIs that possible?  :-\\


Yes, because what I see at 20 feet, a normal person can only see from 18 feet, Hence I have better than 20/20. Some Pilots see thing at 20 feet that others see at 15 feet, that's really good vision.

Elizabeth's friend is only 11!

I think you need to be about 16 before you can handle wearing lenses.  I did know one 14 year old who had them but she was very sensible/responsible.

A colleague of my dad's did that too.  He was always complaining about getting eye infections  ::)

I have been wearing glasses since I was 3 or 4 (Micah, too).  I almost got Lasik back in 2006, but they backed out at the last possible minute (you wouldn't think a "happy pill" could wear off that quickly).  I'm going to try again, but don't have much hope as I am noticing a difference when I try to look at things close up (which was never a problem before).

and a good video to say the most.

When I could no longer read the numbers in the boxes of my crossword puzzles I knew it was time for an
eye exam. That was 5 years ago and I've been wearing progressive bifocals ever since.

How do you get on with those ? I'm gunna need them eventually....

I've has glasses for years. Probably for as long as I've been driving (about 20 years). I'm somewhat shortsighted, so I do need them. (I can manage without, but it leaves me with one hell of a headache...) I also use them when watching the telly sometimes.

In spite of my advanced age  ::) ...I can still manage without reading glasses.


So, in short: I use glasses, but I don't have to wear them day-round.

Fine now, They take awhile to get use to. In the first week or so it's hard to figure out which part of the glasses
you should be looking through but after awhile you don't even need to think about it. It may have been easier for
me because I never wore lined bifocals, I started out with progressives.

Yes, I am still adjusting to which part to look through! Sometimes I must look like a puppet when wobbling my head about! But I'm still treating them like reading only glasses too much and resting them on the top of my head when not reading! I got them because I realized they gave everything around much clarity ... vision became sharper!

I had trouble with the reading part, it was hard for me to focus on the bottom of the glasses; it's second nature now.


If your glasses make things sharper just be sure to not wear them while in the arcade and maybe I'll be able to hold onto
a title or two. ;D

I do wear sunglasses (at times) at night when I drive due to the glare of the car lights.

I need an all of the above category!!!  I wear glasses and I love them, I just wish I had the money to have frames for every mood/outfit!
I also jave to sleep with my glasses on, as I can not stand waking up and not being able to see!  So contacts work for me ( yes I have contacts I can sleep in).  I do own several pairs of sunglasses in variety of shapes and colors!

I'm surprised you don't living in Hawaii :o

Well I have glasses but I rarely if ever where them.

I got my first pair when I was 16 because I was shortsighted but over the years one eye stayed shortsighted but the other went longsighted. I have hours of fun covering one eye and then the other when looking at things!  ;D  ;D
So at the moment they balance each other out so to speak and I don't wear my specs often. I guess I would still have to wear them to drive but I don't have a car right now.

I wear sunglasses all the time because I work underground so there is no natural light and the sun really dazzles me.

What? You can't see your glass that you need glasses to see your glass?  ;D

I chose all of the above except I don't wear them all at once.  ;D

I used to wear reading glasses and, technically, I guess I'm still supposed to though I don't. I had an eye operation to correct a squint about two years ago and I don't go out of focus anymore as a result so see very little reason to continue with them for the mean time. :)

I think I need to start wearing my everyday glasses...

This afternoon I picked up what I thought was a piece of black fluff off the floor  - only to discover it was a spider !  :o :-[  Thank goodness it wasn't a Redback  :P

  I started wearing glasses when I was 17, and I have a separate pair of prescription shades.  Never tried transitions...

Oh i missed that part.I wear those.

I've wore glasses for a long time now, and upgraded them 2 times. I need to eat more Vitamin A foods.... (Vitamin A improves vision.) The bad thing about glasses: they slip off while I do strenuous work.

Thanks for the word of advice.

I have a 'lazy' left eye, so I 'supposedly' had to wear glasses when younger...

'Supposedly'?

Well, this is what I was prescribed! Would you wear anything like this?

http://www.makingthemodernworld.org.uk/everyday_life/img/IM.0782_zl.jpg

I remember I had to visit the local eye clinic every six months, until that fateful day when my Dad took me...

The old dear who ran the joint proclaimed my eye was improving, but was pretty much lost for words when the old feller informed her that I'd barely worn the things since day one!  :D

  My first pair of glasses was similar to those, but black.  Issued by uncle sam, they were known as birth control glasses...

My brother's were black too - though his first very first pair were more like 'John Lennon' frames

I wear contacts to keep my wife interested in my face! She is literally anti-glasses. Once I put them on, she whacks me upside the head. :(

Also, it is hard to fish for bass when one's eyeglasses are wet with water!

I picked "other" because I started when I was 7, got contacts at 15, went back and forth between glasses and contacts after I had the kids, had Lasik done so I didn't need them as much and didn't wear anything for about 3 years, now I'm back to switching back and forth.  I knew when I had the Lasik that my eyes wouldn't be 20/20, but going from 20/1050 and 20/1100 to 20/50 & 20/75 was DEFINITELY worth the $$.  I've always had to wear sunglasses outside because I have hyperphotosensitivity, even if it's somewhat overcast.  If it's really sunny, I usually have a baseball cap on as well or I'm just asking for a migraine.  So, right now, I have 4 pair of regular glasses, 3 regular sunglasses and 1 prescription sunglasses.  I HAD 4 pair of sunglasses, but hubby managed to lose my favorite pair of RayBans at a baseball game this summer and hasn't replaced them yet.....I was really upset because I'd had them for about 7 years and had regular and prescription lenses for them >:(

I wear contacts to keep my wife interested in my face! She is literally anti-glasses. Once I put them on, she whacks me upside the head. :(

Cripes! You've had to rely on them for years!! I always took good eyesight for granted - that is until now when I really need to wear my glasses ::)

Btw nice to see you  :)

Do sunglasses count as "glasses"?  ???

^ only sunglasses is an option to vote for so I guess you can talk about them here too. 

Every time that I went out I wore cheap sunglasses

Sunglasses only.

I've been wearing sunglasses for quite a long time,not only for being cool but for keeping my eyes away from the strong rays.

I like to wear them to look cool and to keep protected as well.

If you say so :D

I've always wore glasses. If I didn't have astigmatism, I would get contact lenses.

You can get contact lenses for astigmatism.  My husband is astigmatic and has worn lenses for years.

Depending on the severity of it depends whether you need specific ones (slightly weighted on the bottom I think) or 'rigid' lenses which 'pull' the eyeball to the right shape.
