I do at the moment if I want to be comfortable in reading things.
I refuse to wear them if out for the night though so just resort to using the Flashlight app on my phone to give enough light to read the menu.
Looked into getting them lasered but apparently if the surgeon gave me good vision now then it would drop back in later life.
The alternatives are to have them lasered now so that I need glasses for distance work and hope it settles in a couple of years, or just wait until I'm in my 40's when hopefully my eyes will have deteriorated as far as they're going to and he can laser once and for all.

I have needed glasses since I was 19, I wear them all the time, never bothered with contacts due to hay fever, dust at work etc. I now have varifocals which took a lot of getting used to. The only time they really bother me is riding the motorbike as it is a pain if they steam up or I have to swap to sunglasses.
How do you all who wear them get on with wearing a crash helmet with specs on? My prescription is slightly positive for distance, which seems to magnify movement of the frame/lenses, making my vision less than stable. I guess that negative prescriptions do this to a much lesser extent. The helmet - a good firm fit - moves a little over bumps and in turn moves the specs arms. I wear a helmet only on trackdays so I don't do it often enough to acclimatise.
