can u read without your glasses?

no, not really. without glasses, i have to squint to be able to see whatever is in front of me. i've been wearing prescriptive glasses since i was in my sophomore year in highschool. everytime i go outside, i wear contact lenses. but if i'm staying at home, i just wear my glasses. and without these, i'm blind as a bat.

Not very well. I really need my glasses to read.

My eyes are stil quite good. I have not yet started using glasses, and I think i may still be off the reading glasses for along while.

Hi my friend, I can read the computer screen without my glasses, but it's not very clear. When I get up in the morning, I turn my computer right on and try to focus on the screen without taking the time out to clean my glasses and put them on. I fiddle like this for about an hour until I give up and get them out. lol Happy MyLogging, Char

I can read without glasses though I am reaching (or actually have reached) the age where in dim light I cannot see print that is too small. I am, however, holding off on the reading glasses because I can read all day at work without glasses -- both print and computer screen -- therefore, I am not anxious to rush into reading glasses. This is especially true because then you end up having to take them off when not reading and then put them back on again, or slide them down your nose to look over them.

I wear my glasses most of the time anyway so I will wear them for reading, except in two circumstances. I love to read in the bath and bed. In the bath I cannot wear them as they steam up and in bed I like to lie down on my side and read. I am finding it harder to read without them though which is a shame, and I will get a headache if I do it for any length of time. I try not to read for long in the bath now, and in bed I tend to sit up as long as possible while wearing them. When I lie down though, if I still want to read I take them off. Only problem I have is when I fall asleep sitting up reading and then I end up laying down in the night wearing my glasses! I am surprised they are still in one piece to be honest. If on the pc though, I have no option but to wear them.

I can't read without my glasses. It gets all blurry if I try. What I do now is get books that have the big letters than I do fine. I am just sooo happy that publishers started to print books with big letters.

Nope if all else fails and I havent got my spectacles with me then I will ask to borrow someone elses,but lol there have been times when ive been asked to fill a form in or some such thing,and ive had to cheat and ask someone to fill it in for me,as without my glasses im blind as a bat

Hi my glasses are my lifeline,and without them all Isee of the book or the newspaper is a big blur,and the screen of the computer would be much the same,the only time I get pretty het up is if I have mislaid my glasses,but at least I do have two or three paris so I have a pair to use unti lthe other pair turns up,but it is like losing a limb

well,im a short sighted person..and so i can read books without wearing glasses....i only cant read the letters on the black board without glasses... Goodday, Sri

It is really hard for me to read without my glasses, when I am at a computer or when I am reading a book without my glasses I have to put my face up really close to my computer or hold the book really close to my face. Its really fuzzy and blurry for me.
