i first got glasses (for distance) at the end of 2nd grade,,, MANY years ago. was somewhere in the area of 20-200... meaning I could see at 20 feet what someone with normal eye-sight could see at 200 feet. I was the "blind as a bat" girl.
eventually my arms started to shrink?? couldn't hold things far enough away to read! bifocals! I tried those progressive lenses but not crazy about them.
had cataract surgery in 7/2020, and haven't needed glasses for distance since. but I do need reading glasses.
I find my readers at Dollar Tree. styles... quirky, my style. if I lose them, sit on them, whatever... no big deal.
so who wears glasses?
oh, and I only have vision in one eye!

I used to. I got mine when I was 13 due to being nearsighted. My DL indicates that I have to wear eyeglasses to drive. But I think if I took a vision test now I would pass it.
Oddly enough, my eyesight has improved as I've gotten older and I don't need them like I used to. All I need now is reading glasses.

I only wear them when I drive and watch TV. I can see things that are close to me fine.

after the cataract surgery (a bit of a dramatic description of the procedure imo), I asked my eye doc about getting the "corrective lenses" restriction taken off my driver's license. this was only a few months into covid. DMV was and still is a total sh**-show. eye guy said you need something like 20-40 to pass eye test and I was fine. He gave me a slip of paper that has info about when I had the procedure and advised me to just keep it in my car or wallet.
I have cheap reading glasses EVERYWHERE. 2 pair in kitchen, 2 pair in bathroom, 2-3 in the living room and bedroom. had to toss a pair yesterday when one of the side pieces broke off. made a stop at dollar store and bout 3-4 new pair.
