A member asked:
Is it possible for you to year reading glasses if you don't have any problems?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes but why: Reading eyeglasses will improve your viewing of small, near things like print or small parts. If you can do this comfortably without readers, then perhaps you do not need them. Glasses should be worn if they improve functional vision and also sometimes as a safety measure.

I've gotten weird headaches for several years(5 or 6?). My eyes start to hurt & my vision blurs. They hurt & burn until they start fighting to close. Sleep helps correct it. I wear reading glasses & my RX hasn't changed. What's wrong with my eyes?
