I have been lucky so far and do not have to wear glasses at age 32.

I have to wear glasses and I don't really care for them. I used to wear contacts but decided to give my eyes a break. My next eye Dr.'s appointment though I think I am going to go back...glasses are not infant/toddler friendly!

Yep. I'm nearsighted though so I can read books without them.

I have horrible vision. Without glasses or contacts, I can see clearly up to three inches from my face. From there it gets blurrier and blurrier. I have glasses, but they give me headaches, so i mainly stick with contacts. It's a little impossible to function without glasses or contacts.

I've worn glasses since elementary. Once in middle school I switched to contacts. I used to sleep with them (I know) and sometimes would get really bad irritations to where I would wear my glasses alone for a year. I do not use my glasses to read. Only to see from far

Depends for some without glasses for some reason don't take my word for it just some their foreheads go out a little more and it looks weird without glasses but for some no glasses totally looks better for them.

I have to wear glasses all the time. Unfortunately, in one eye I am near sighted and in the other far sighted. I also have a lazy eye and I can not wear contacts. So glasses it is... Better to see than not too!

Yes, but for distance. I can read without them.

I have to wear glasses, and I can't wear contacts. I hate it. I toy with the idea of getting surgery at some point, but it kind of freaks me out and I'm not sure I could anyway, as my eyes are dry. I try to make the best of it and get cute glasses since I don't have a choice. I have three different pairs so that I can change according to my mood.

I have glasses and contacts. Thanks to my dad's genes, I have pretty horrible astigmatism. I need to wear contacts for the majority of the day and then put on my glasses late at night. I also wake up and put them on before I take a shower (since it's not good to wear contacts in the shower).

I'd wear my glasses a little more often, but no matter what glasses I have, they make my face feel gross after a long period of time. I'm hoping to eventually have surgery so I don't have to worry about wearing anything to make my sight what it should be.

I have worn contacts or glasses to see distances for over forty years- trouble is now I also need to use magnifying glasses to read when I'm wearing the contacts (unless it's the kindle and I make the font bigger).

I got some glasses a few years ago, but just for when I'm reading or on the computer... I can't tell the difference in my vision with or without them but it stops the headaches! 8)
