I have an eye exam every two years but have not needed a new prescription for (I'm guessing) over 10 years. I first needed glasses when I was eight years old but got contacts, forty five years ago. I use reading glasses with my contacts for newspapers, telephone books, computer, etc. Nice to not need to wear glasses all the time....steaming up in the cold, getting wet in the rain, etc.

Send him to Australia and he'll be fine.

About 4 years ago I started to wear them for reading.I have noticed lately the words are starting to look blurry again so, I would say I'm due for another eye test.

Yep! It comes with age Julie.I updated mine about 2 years ago and they are due for another update now.

I have 3 pairs.One for reading,One for distance,(That I rarely use) and bi-focal sunglasses for driving.

All those pairs of glasses and you still can't see, right? lol

I've been wearing glasses since fourth grade, when I was 9/10.  In my early 20's, I got contacts, and got colored lenses (grey) about 3 years ago, then, two months ago, switched to aqua. They make my brown eyes a little more interesting. 

My eyes are checked annually; the glasses are 3 years old and don't really work right, but I've figured out how to see what I need.  I also have glasses to wear with my contacts, for closeup stuff, and they don't work right, either. 

I've heard we become farsighted as we age.  I am so nearsighted, if I live to be 125, l'll probably (at that point) have 20/20 vision!

I am way past glasses JH,,my right eye had cataract taken out,do not need glasses for that eye,,my left eye is just about at the end of glasses,,probably get a new lens put in my left eye early next year..and that is the new lens they put in your eye,i reckon Romos knows something about it..>>>>>>>><<<<<<<..

You will be jumping for joy Terry!

two years ago, now due for a eye test. I'm waiting until the new year, I will go for a test then, and maybe have a new pair of specs if I need them, if I can afford them.

You look darn cute n your Glases Julie,

I had the Lasik done about 10 years ago. It came with a guarantee as long as I get my eyes checked once a year they will correct them when needed. so far so good. 

I'm not to the point where I need prescription glasses but I've been using over the counter reading glasses for the past five years and I'm relying on them more to see.
