I've technically had glasses since I was 16, and bifocals since I was about 40ish. I say "technically" because I need glasses to do artwork but find them unsuitable beyond that. In fact, I've largely switched over to grocery-store magnifiers and find they do the job nicely. The opticians/opthamologists who've tested me over the years keep asking "Don't you get headaches without your glasses?" to which I reply "I get headaches when I *do* wear them." Mostly I do without. I can't read fine print any more without *some*thing, but except for the occasional reference book at the library I can't help a patron decipher, I haven't felt the lack. Good on you for adapting to the progressive lenses so quickly!
