Glasses: I started my first glasses at age 6 - broke 5 in one year. Have been wearing glasses every day since then - doing OK just after my 72nd birthday. Spectacles start as a nuisance but within a very short period you will be pleased. You might consider having your eye specialist discuss the value of stopping your glasses and using small lenses over you eyes.. Please let me know how things go.
