Do you wear reading glasses?

I wear prescription reading glasses. I have to or I get bad headaches.

I wear reading glasses only when I lost my eyeglasses. Our health insurance covers the examination of an eye specialist but not the eyeglases itself. But here in our place there are lot of vendors selling eyeglasses at lesser cost. Just bring in the examination result and they will prepare the eyeglasses at lesser cost. Dont use reading glasses without doctors prescription. It will only worsen your eyes situation.

Been waring this menace for a long time.The worst moments in your life are when you are groping for your reading glassed to see how many zeroes are there in the check.

When I broke my glasses ages ago before I got my news ones I had to purchase reading glasses because I did need them. They worked ok but I definitely want to use my perscription glasses after that.

Hubby wears reading glasses. He won't sit thru a visit to the eye doctor to get the exact prescription, but was able to try on various strengths at the eyeglass counter. He took about 30 minutes to figure out which one let him read the newspaper without having to hold it away at arms length. Once we knew which ones he needed, it was much cheaper as I found a 3 pair pack for under $10. Considering he is always dropping them, I'm glad the replacements are just as cheap. LOL

Yes I need readers, well probably more, but since I am uninsured I get the cheap readers. They work for now, but I worry they may not forever. I am almost to the highest level, I wear 300 right now, they only go to 325 or 350 I think. It was like I turned 40 and someone turned a switch off in my eye's. I never needed them till then. Nothing says middle aged like a nice pair of readers lol.

I just bought my first pair last week. :grumpy: :cry: :cry: :cry: I have had 20/15 vision in both eyes since my late teens.... this sucks. Tell me about it. My distance vision is fine, but its basically 30-45 cm (12-18 inches) where I need reading glasses - for reading papers and the computer screen. The eyes are simply less flexible by the time someone reaches about 50. :biggrin: I've already lost one pair. :grumpy: Left it somewhere in the boarding area at an airport just before I caught a late night flight from west to east coast. So now I have 4 pair

Fortunately, I don't need to wear any kind of glasses. My eyes are fine for now.

Thank goodness, I don't have to worry about that yet, but I"m sure the time will come when I will have to wear them! lol! Right now, I can't see far away, so I wear contacts. However, late at night if the light isn't good, I have a hard time seeing things close up. My older sister just got them, so I'm sure it won't be long till I need them for reading... Gosh, I feel old! lol!

I wear prescription glasses, but i know my ex's parents both go the dollar store reading glasses way, lol i have no idea why, they have enough money they could get regular glasses for themselves. i guess they are just cheap :P

Hi, I do wear it in order to get out of the strain I feel while reading and some of them could be read well. I used to use glasses from my 1st standard class onwards after a teacher found that I had few problems in my eye sight later it got rectified not completely even though a part.

I do wear reading glasses that the optometrist prescibed for me so they are prescription reading glasses but I also have bought reading glasses to carry in my car in case I forget the real ones at home,Its hard to eat out if you can't see the menu lol.Have a great day!

I aam suppose to wear them but I dont I choose to try and ignore it and squint. The older I get the worse , my eyes get, But I guess thats with everyone..My mom wears them and so does the rest of my family.

I had prescription glasses for reading. Then I fell asleep reading about a year ago and my dog destroyed them! She absolutely tore them up. Since then, I've found myself without insurance to replace them (dumb luck). So I've tried reading glasses. Most just make the reading harder for me. I hope I find some that work because reading is a bit harder without the glasses.

No I wear my Prescribed Glasses I think the reading Glasses are no use what so ever I also wear Glasses for driving but a different Strength so I have 2 Sets of Glasses

I use to have prescription reading glasses. but that was YEARS ago... I still definitly need them!!! I don't have insurance so it is just cheaper for me to go to like the dollar store and pick up the reading glassess that they sell... Sure helps!

As per the PRESCRIPTION of my Doctor, I wear reading glasses. Insurance coverage etc., I am yet to bother.

No I need my prescription glasses too much! My grandmother insists on using reading glasses even though she would get free eye tests and subsidised glasses as she is 83! xxx

Up until now I have never needed them but I spend so much time on myLot now in front of the computer screen I have just made an appointment to get them checked. I will go with prescription though if they are needed as they will be the right ones for me. My sight I believe is worth the price I will have to pay. Ellie:D

i have prescription reading glasses ,but i see better with the over the counter ones
