Just because I don't need reading glasses doesn't mean I have good eyes, lol. If I wanted to read without my glasses on I would have to hold the page basically right up to my nose. But I'm still near sighted, not farsighted, so my glasses are to see in general, not just to read. 1 Quote
SwimOdin Posted January 24 Author Posted January 24 Interesting, I’m farsighted, I wonder are reading glasses just for that type? I would guess being nearsighted would make reading glasses obsolete. 1 Quote
André Toulon Posted January 24 Posted January 24 (edited) Nah, I can't see shit out of any version of reading glasses. Every single pair I've put on my face is like being in a dust storm that makes shit bigger but more out of focus Edited January 24 by André Toulon 1 Quote

I would guess being nearsighted would make reading glasses obsolete. I assumed reading glasses were just for far sighted people. What I didn't realize was far sighted people would need "regular" glasses as well as reading glasses. There's a lot of people in family that wear/wore glasses (the "wore" either got lasik or mainly wear contacts) and i think they're all near sighted. Exception: my dad. His only glasses are reading glasses. Edited January 24 by Doom Metal Alchemist 1 Quote

If not you’re in that lucky few, I know so few people that can see well. Quote

rpgamer Posted January 24 Posted January 24 I think I've been wearing the same pair of glasses since.... I think literally since before I joined ASMB... 1 Quote
UwPp Posted January 24 Posted January 24 Regular glasses. Then computer glasses. Because my eye balls don't adjust properly. 1 Quote

little_girl_lost Posted January 24 Posted January 24 1 hour ago, Doom Metal Alchemist said: My god. Did you need glasses since birth but your parents didn't figure it out until you were 2? Yeah, probably. The story is that one of my grandfathers was playing with me when i was a baby and noticed a lazy eye, and its been glasses ever since. Well, there was the time in my first year of school when they made me wear glasses and an eye patch, rendering me socially doomed. 2 Quote
scoobdog Posted January 24 Posted January 24 I'm still good, but years of computer use have affected my ability to focus close and far. 1 Quote
katt_goddess Posted January 24 Posted January 24 I've had bifocals since I was 16. I don't want any more glasses, these are bad enough. 2 Quote
1pooh4u Posted January 24 Posted January 24 I wear progressive lenses for all that. The 40s is when your eyes really start losing the ability to focus between switching distances. Mostly I don’t use my glasses at all when reading. Especially if it’s a phone or tablet 2 Quote

naraku360 Posted January 24 Posted January 24 My eyes don't have irises, so glasses put me directly on the legal blindness threshold.... Quote
