I didn't need glasses until I decided while in high school to read Gone With The Wind one weekend. Yes, one weekend.
I found out when I opened the book for my network class- Roughly 5-1/2" x 8-1/2-1" thick, over 1100 pages. Opened it in a bright classroom, the pages looked gray and I could barely read the bold section and paragraph titles, so I closed it and laid it on the desk. The teacher asked if I would be reading along with the class and I said "I would, if I could". Went to Walgreens and bought some readers that night but soon remembered that I hate wearing glasses, especially if I can see the frame, so I bought some rimless and added more, so I wouldn't have to remember where they are. For some reason the vision in one eye improved about 5 years ago and I don't need my glasses as often as I did- I can even read the ingredients on a lot of food containers when I'm at a grocery store and the menu in most restaurants, which had been a problem.
