How nearsighted should you be to wear glasses full time? i prefer to wear only when driving
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Visual comfort.: If you see well enough to do the other activities you particpate in, then just use your glasses when you feel the need to see better. However, don't be "afraid" to wear glasses, and don't be vain about it to the extent you injure yourself doing somehting you could not see clearly.
