Nearly all my mates wear them. Last time we went out for dinner they all put them on to read the menu. It was like a Pensioners Convention. I'm ok on the PC but shit it's getting harder and harder reading much else. But I wont give in!!

I bought my first reading glasses last year , just need them to see fine detail (so far) and don't need them for the PC.
Yep, that's me too.
And 8 years ago I paid a shipload and had the laser treatment.
It worked ok for 5 years, threw the goggles away, but now back to wearing them again.
I hate having to wear them!
dont know if there is any truth in that wearing glasses weakens your eyes. It sure feels like it if I wear them for reading then take em off it takes ages for my eyes to get accustomed again, all blurry.

I use them for reading manuals etc but not the computer or books in bed. They do weaken the eyes so the less the better in my book.
