I have to renew my drivers license next month and plan to get an eye exam before hand. I know I need them. Mater of fact I'm surprised I passed the eye exam at the DMV last time. I think they only fail you if you can't find the actual eye exam machine. |

I started wearing them in my early 20s. And as I get older, I find that paying close attention to things closer than my monitor requires reading glasses. I gotta get out from behind my desk more often . . . |

Need to wear them whenever Im at a computer or reading (long sighted). It's mainly a problem in my left eye though.
