Okay now we are all getting older and that means we need to wear glasses to read. I only wear my glasses to read and on the internet. I keep a pair on my desk and I carry a pair in my purse. I need to get another pair for the kitchen. Im constantly running in the computer room to get my glasss.LOL So how many pairs of glasses do you own?

Hi TerryZ! Oh geez, you are right. We are getting older and we need those reading glasses and I am still not getting one. I know I have to get my own pair because I am just borrowing my husband's eye glasses sometimes. haha.. Take care and have a nice day.

Honestly Terry when I got my eyes checked last year I was told my vision is still perfect so I don't have any glasses. My hubby has 2 pair, he wears one to work and the other when he's at home.
Luv & Hugzz, PurpleTeddyBear.

I probably could stand to get glasses for reading, but I simply take my glasses off when I'm reading or do any close-up work. I'm near-sighted though and have to wear glasses for seeing distances while I'm walking out (other wise might need a seeing eye dog..LOL), and even wear them when I'm here at the computer or watching TV. I have two pairs of glasses, one that I wear around the house which are like a tortoiseshell frame and my pair that I wear out into the world which are my aviator type

Just one pair of glasses - yeesh! They're so expensive these days! And I have a couple of pairs of non-prescription sunglasses.

I only own one pair of eyeglasses, which I use alternately with my contact lenses. I use contacts more often though.

At the moment I only have to wear glasses when I am using the computer or when I am doing long distant night driving, I have a spare pair because they were on offer at the time and if I were to lose one set or damage a set I have a spare handy just in case! However three years ago I did the same thing I got the extra pair and I never got to use the spare pair, which is a waste in a way, but sods law has it that if I didn't have the spare I would have lost the first pair!

I have had to wear glasses since I was in third grade. I cannot see at all without them. I only have one pair at a time though. Mine are too expensive to buy more than that. I have had the pair I have now for over two years and I need to get a new pair. I have astigmatism and glucoma.

Lucky me I wear bi focals now. I didn't want to have to worry about shifting back and forth between two pairs because I tend to lose or break them. Right now I only have one pair but I'm hoping in the near future to be able to buy a second pair. I'm very very careful with these. Without them I would never be able to use my pc!

Ok, yes I am getting older, but I don't need reading glasses. I need just the opposite. I am extremely near sighted, so I wear glasses for far off stuff. I have 4 pairs. I am getting new ones in January, when my new year's insurance kicks in.

Hi! Well, I've got three pair of glasses. I used to have an old pair which is very light and I'd like to use it when I'm at home.I wear one pair nowadays when I go to work or go outside.I bought them this October and they look very nice.The glasses are good for me cause it both protects from the computer and the sunshine.I like them. I've also got a cool pair of sunglasses. I wear them when it's very sunny outside:)

I have four pairs and it's getting complicated I can assure you.
One for reading and they were new a year ago and now I can't see the small print with or without them so they need changing again. I use them when I'm on my computer and they are fine for that.
The second pair I wear all the time as I'm short-sighted. They stop reflections and slightly change colour to become darker when I enter a room from outdoors where it was sunny and much brighter.
The third pair are for normal use too but they are normal and do not have any anti-reflection. They are fine for night time especially driving.
The fourth pair are sunglasses made to the prescription of the ones I wear normally.
It can get complicated and I have to remember when driving to the sea from here that, as I have to go through many tunnels in the mountains during the journey, when driving I must wear the ones with no anti-reflection as they are useless when going from a bright area to a dark one. I forgot once and it was pitch black inside the tunnel - very dangerous and thank goodness it was only a short distance I had to cover and was then able to pull over to the side and change them!

I have more glasses than I know what to do with. I have to wear glasses to see and read, so I have many glasses for that, then I also have glasses for fun. I own lots of sunglasses.

I have 2 eyeglasses. The other doesn't have lense yet so I'm wearing it yet. I still have to bring it to my eye doctor. I only use my eyeglasses for reading and for the computer. I can still see properly but I have astigmatism so I have to wear my eyeglasses when reading. Because my eyes need correction.

Hi Terry,
I wear glasses everday, all day long! lol I cant really see without them. I can but its slightly blurry if I do.
I have two pair, but usually just wear the same ones everday. I actually dont mind my glasses or wearing them. I have contacts too, but dont wear those too much. Sort of hard to wear makeup and keep drops in them, they dry out too much for me. Id look like an Alice Cooper reject. I cant put drops in my eyes very well, it ends up running down my face. *shrugs* I blink. lol
