    I had to wear glasses since I was about 7 years old...

    I have to wear them all the time because without them I can hardly see.

        I'm with you on that. I think I got my first glasses in the 3rd or 4th grade. Without them I can see clearly about 10/12 inches.

          I always had perfect 20/20 vision, and I still see pretty darn excellent...it's only the close-up stuff that has slowly over the years been deteriorating (ever so slightly), it's just age.

          My sister is like you though, Mike, she's younger than me, and has always had bad eyesight, she needs glasses for both distance and close ups.

            Reading and computer do not mess up your eyes, it's either hereditary, disease, or just age.

                I have to wear contacts because I can't stand glasses...but they are for nearsightedness and not for reading. One of my classmates in elementary school used to wear coke bottle glasses so thick that his eyes looked like goldfish in a bowl. One day he slipped on a stair tread and whammed the back of his head on a metal bannister. I think it knocked him out for a few seconds. It must have done something to him, because from that day forward, he never needed glasses. I'm sure he saw stars before things cleared up for him.

                  Usually when you hit your 40's your eyes start to change shape. You lose you close up vision cause of this. I can see perfect far away but reading the paper forget it now unless I hold it as far away as posible. I just go with the readers.

                    I'll probably be joining you soon. Seems like the more time I spend on the computer the easier my eyes tire out anymore.

                        According to the optometrist, no.

                        But what do I know.
