    I'm the same way. I haven't worn my glasses for reading for decades.
    Whe I wear the contacts, I use cheap readers to read labels in the
    store, etc.

    Reading normal books and magazines is fine for me, but I do take my
    glasses off when doing really small things such as when cutting out
    tightly / cleanly around the outline of a small image for craft work,
    the rare occasion I have to thread a needle, etc.

    You'll probably begin to have problems with reading when you get into
    your 40s or fairly soon if you're already there.

    Already well past the 40s. :-)
    No problems reading, whether screens or printed. Even the optician was impressed when I read the tiniest size print on his hand-held chart and
    said I had excellent vision when reading the distance chart. I don't remember when these glasses/lenses were last changed, but at least 30
    years ago (my original optician retired nearly 20 years ago and I had
    these glasses a good while before that).

    Just going from personal experience, YMMV I guess. But it sounds like
    you need to wear glasses all the time, I only need them for reading. My
    late dad was the same way.

    I'm short-sighted, so need glasses to see distance, but when working on
    something small close-up, it is better to take my glasses off. This can
    become more of a problem as people age, which is why they sometimes get
    bifocals - the upper half of the lenses for long distance and the lower
    half of the lenses for close work / reading.

    I had an optician from my teen years when it was determined I might
    have a slight case of astigmatism. Wore glasses he prescribed for it
    for short while but got rid of them. He recently died, lived to a ripe
    old age and even became mayor of the city at one point.

    Really I think I only chose to wear them because I thought it would be
    cool to have a pair John Lennon "granny glasses," lol.

    Yep, I've been wearing glasses all the time since primary / junior
    school. Most of that time I had the same optician and only changed when
    he retired.

    Diagnosed as nearsighted at age 5, first pair of glasses shortly
    thereafter. My father was friends with the optician as the two of them
    had businesses about a block away. We went to that optician till he
    closed. His son started an optical shop when he was in his 20s, bought
    his father's customers (whichever ones transferred over) and employed
    his father till he retired. I've been going there ever since.
