I started wearing glasses 15 years ago and swiftly moved to contacts, I can’t wear glasses they still get on my nerves.
I now wear glasses. I'm not impressed.

Same with me. I've worn glasses since I was about 13 or 14 years old. Last year I had a cataract in one eye, so had surgery to fix it, then I had to visit the optician to get new glasses. The lady asked me if the other eye was ok... no double vision or anything? I said that there was some, so she tested that eye for double vision and said she was going to recommend me for surgery on that eye too. I got onto the cancellations list and was called a month later - so now I have no need to wear glasses (although I do for driving and to give UV protection in bright sunlight). Its great!
Both ops were organised by the optician, who set it up with the hospital.

I have an astigmatisms. I’ve worn glasses since I was 17, that’s 26 years now.
But I only wear them for driving, cycling at night and the cinema. I can get by fine in all other circumstances.
My prescription hasn’t changed in all those years but I struggle to read LED signs at train stations, as I see two of everything.

How does it affect your view of car LED lights?

I have glasses on for driving and cycling at night, so it’s fine apart from the glare.
For me glasses at 9 years old, contacts at 17, laser surgery at 22, and then last year reading glasses at 42. I only use the reading glasses at work where I spend all day on the computer, but I guess the time is coming where I will be joining everyone else in losing glasses around the home and work and often finding them perched in my head.

I can't even remember where my glasses are.
