I am nearsighted but recently it turns out I am going to be farsighted too so if the print is small I have to take my glasses off. If its large print I am okay but seeing that I will probably be laying on the bed reading I usually take them off so when I fall asleep reading I don't bend my glasses LOL.

I have to wear glasses or contacts all the time. That is just to see. So yep, that means reading too.I prefer contacts. After a while glasses slip when I am at a comfy angle in bed reading.

I don't have to wear eyeglasses to read. It's not necessary. But usually I will wear eyeglasses when I watch TV because I am near-sighted. I love China

Yes, I wear reading glasses. I wear contacts and kept putting off using reading glasses. When it got to the point that I might need a magnifying glass, I gave it!

I wear glasses all the time. Without my glasses, I cannot see to find my glasses. I'm kind of a blindy bat. Some people only need glasses for reading though. The question is, do they wear them or not?

Exactly! At my age, eyeglasses is very much needed. Otherwise, my eyes will get hurt if i forced myself to read without wearing them. Protect your eyes while young. Happy reading!

hi, I think it is advisable to wear eyglasses on when reading a book if you were far-sighted. For sure you will find it really difficult to read a book, a magazine, or any reading journals if you didn't have your glasses on. For me it's different. I'm so near-sighted that wearing eyeglasses on when reading a book just gives me a headache. But maybe it's just me... But this is what I think anyway......

Hi shiloh_222. I wear corrective eye lenses when I read. I have worn glasses since my first day of first grade. They are a way of life for me. Even so, I usually wear contact lensbut I still need to add a pair of those little reader glasses, when I need to read. When I don't have my contact lenses on, I wear "regular" eyeglasses.

I do wear eyeglasses to read and I actually do wear them all the time. But when I am reading it lessens the eye strain.

I wear reading glasses, I have a pair in every room, I even carry a pair in my purse, the eye doctor told me the older you get the less your eyes can focus so writing close up. I don't wear everyday glasses, I can see real good far off.
