Blind as a bat here, I wear glasses all the time. I have contacts, but I still havent gotten used to wearing them. One day I will persevere with them!

I am just starting to occasionally wear the glasses you buy at cvs or Walgrens, Cheaters- we call them. I have the lowest # 125 , i think. I can read the paper without them, use them when reading a small map- or phone book etc. Just once in a great while- which I think is pretty good for an ole broad pushing 55 !! lol

Bats see better than I do. I have 20/1600 and 20/1400 vision, correctable to 20/30 and 20/40. My glasses are so think I can't wear metal frames because the lenses pop out when I clean them. I cannot wear contacts because my astigmatism is too great. It stinks, but I am used to it. The DRs have also ruled out surgery as a corrective measure.

I've been wearing reading glasses since the age of 38. At 40 I realized that I wouldn't be able to set stones during stone setting classes at jewellery school if I didn't wear glasses - aaaaaargh! Now I have several pairs of glasses, but not the cheaters. The lenses are different for left and right. I also ought to wear glasses for plain every day but I can still get away without them unless I'm tired.
