I've worn glasses for years, glasses are not what they used to be, they are a fashion accessory now, just like wearing braces on your teeth. Even people who don't need them wear them with plain glass 😉
I have poor eyesight, and for a while I did actually wear glasses.
Thankfully my eyes are good enough that I can get by with contacts. I like them a ton better than glasses...I would always break my glasses when I played sports or did anything athletic.
Yes. I now wear bi-focals, for nearsightedness and astigmatism. Usually I use them for driving(especially at night and/or in inclement weather) and also for reading. I bought mine at America's Best. I have my eyes checked every other year now.
