A member asked:
When in life do people normally need to start wearing eyeglasses, if they didn't need them in childhood?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Various: Many will develop a need for glasses in the late childhood, teen years and early twenties (usually myopes). In the thirties hyperopes may start to need glasses and all will develop near vision needs in the 40s and 50s mother nature is sometimes a little rough.
