I've had glasses from the age of 8.
Now had varifocals for about 10 years and have to wear them from get-up to go-to-bed, I'm another one that can't hear properly if I don't have the specs on and family laugh at me too, glad to learn i'm not the only one with this 'problem.'

Tina, you are short sighted, hence why you can see items close up. Your prescription would start with a - and if you are long sighted a +

Have worn mine for almost 30 years now - just for the one eye though - the other cant be fixed something to do with the brain not reacting Ambliopia or something its called. Had I had a proper mother my site could have been saved as a child but she wasnt interested in her children or their needs.

If you have children under the age of 5 and are concerned please do get their site checked as some conditions cannot be repaired once the brain has developed in those areas.

Saying that I see well enough and dont know what I miss if that makes sense :) So everything looks normal to me - I just walk into lots of things on my left. I am short sited in my good eye but as I wear a plain lens in my duff eye (which does focus so dosent look odd) I can get away with very thin lenses.

I have two sets of Very Good glasses - but I loose things so often I also have a few sets from that website that does them from £15.00!!!! as spares.
