I've had glasses since I was a teenager. I liked to sit far back in the class and chat with my friends, but the teacher soon found out that I couldn't see what was on the blackboard, so I was moved up front.

I have just ordered bifocals and will get them next week. I really should have had them 5 years ago, but .... I'm afraid I will find it hard to get used to them, as looking to the side, things will be blurry. However, I'll try my best, it would be nice to be able to see far and read with the same ones on.

For those of you who are light sensitive, get a pair with glasses that turn into sunglasses when out in the sun.

Good luck with yours!
