For those who wear glasses, at what age did you start?

Well, it's not as if you weren't warned that it would make you go blind...

trouble reading overheads

Anyone here over 40 that doesn't wear them? I bought a cheap pair of +1s, I think, a few years ago but rarely use them, although when I broke them out today I saw a noticeable difference. Wife says there's a certain "hot nerd" factor to them, so I've got that going for me.

At 43, it was like all of a sudden, couldn't read the newspaper. Started with +1.25 and have gradually progressed to +2.00 over the past decade.

I guess I fall in the over 40 / don't wear 'em category. Which is surprising since I stare at a computer screen all day and have for the past 20 years.

46, just switched from drug store reading glasses to "full-time" prescription glasses, with the progressive lenses. Really like them.

48, I started needing reading glasses, tried a single contact for reading, but my distance vision started to deteriorate and can't handle double contacts due to dry eyes...Now wear glasses almost every waking moment, and I'm now 54..... I spend serious jack on good looking glasses of superior quality. As far as I am concerned, its money well spent.

^^ This except it happened at 40. Still only need reading glasses but can't read anything without them.

50. My glasses have destroyed the eyesight that I had left. Now, 18 months later, the glasses are absolutely necessary.
