I've worn glasses ever since I was 3 years old and proud of it. I wear my glasses all the time even when I'm sleeping, swimming or taking a shower because I love wearing glasses and guys love and compliment me on my glasses all the time.

I've been wearing reading glasses for about two years now. Right after my 45th birthday my vision suddenly changed. I was 20/20 before that.

Hard to tell, I think I may have been prescribed glasses I didn't need as a child simply because they were covered by welfare at the time. I was told later in life that I had an astigmatism, but I was told when I enlisted in The: Navy at 23 that I didn't need glasses. I got them again around 40 from the VA. I can't read, pass the drivers license vision test or see well enough to use my phone without them now. I outgrew my vanity with my youthful good looks so I have no problem with wanting to wear them unless I'm cleaning them, brushing my hair, sleeping or in the shower.

Do you wear them on white-knuckle roller-coaster rides? -
Linda Joy
I don't think I've been on a roller-coaster in 30 years, but I probably wouldn't think to take them off if I did go on one! Thanks for the heads up I'll try to remember to take them off if I do go on one! -

Even on White Knuckle roller coaster rides? What about when you're making out with one of those really hideous creatures? -
Ice man
Yeah, good question !! What do the turtles have to say about your glasses when you're tryin' to get it on with them ??? ... -
beaker95
Hold on, hold on, hold on. @Linda; What hideous creatures? @Ice Man; They say I look like Harry Potter and can I show them some magic. -
Linda Joy
If I remember correctly I was referring to your comments on the question what animals you find attractive, or something like that -
beaker95
You think sexy animals are hideous creatures? How can anyone think a giraffe is anything but gorgeous and irresistible? -

But ya gotta admit sometimes NOT wearing glasses has its advantages! I've actually worn my glasses In the pool, but I don't think the chemicals are good for the lenses

I was in college when I started to develop myopia -- nearsightedness. This wasn't a big deal, since I needed my near vision a lot more than my distance vision. My grandfather was an optometrist, and he told me that while my distance vision might get worse for a while, as I approached old age, it would likely improve, and my near vision would worsen. He was right. My distance vision did improve starting several years ago, but I now need reading glasses. I am 64, by the way.

I was 8-years-old, when a teacher noticed that I was squinting. My teacher recommended that I get eyeglasses.
