Isn't that myopia instead? A mate of mine wears glasses for myopia all the time but lifts them up to read.

>That's farsighted, right? Then you've had that your whole life? I didn't understand the true nature of not seeing with clear accurate vision (I've had 20/15 my whole life) until I started needing glasses for fine print. Wow, I could really sympathize the first time I had to read the small print on a prescription bottle and couldn't! :o)

>>I have the opposite problem. I have to take my glasses off to read.

>>>I have 1x reading glasses that I bought at Walmart (per the eye doctor's recommendation) and use for reading fine print on medicine bottles, ingredients on food products and shampoo, et al. I finally had to admit that the print wasn't getting smaller and it was my eyes :o) I actually have a prescription that has 1x on the bottom and nothing on the top. I've never used them though because I only need them when reading small print and I'd rather have larger glasses for that then try to look through the very bottom of glasses.
