Occasional Spectacles Wearers
Discussion
I expect this will be moved to Health, but I'll gove it a go here.
A couple of years ago, I was prescribed glasses for reading and suchlike. I only need them for stuff less than about two or three feet from my nose.
To other 'part time' glasses wearers: What the heck do you do with them for the rest of the time? I often perch them on top of my head, but then whenever I look down, they fall off. The rest of the time, I slide them down my nose and look over the top of them, which my wife says looks like I disapprove of everything. I do, as a matter of fact, but that's not relevant.
I've considered (and even purchased, but not used) a natty little chain to go around my neck. I do have a hard case, but it would have to go in my pocket, and that's uncomfortable.
I need the specs to be rapidly deployable, so what does everyone else do?

Just wear them reversed, ie with the lenses against the back of your neck and the arms hooked over your ears from behind. 
Or get a pair with flip-up lenses.
Or wear a monocle, giving you one free eye for distance and a corrected eye for close work

Not too keen on Gove myself, but hey, each to his own and all that.
I need glasses for distance but went to contacts 10 years go which meant I needed readers for close up. I ended up accumulating a shipping container's worth of the things.
My Optician suggested I wear just one contact in the worst eye - the brain sort of works it out and I thus have no need for specs.

That works for me with the contact lens in the dominant eyehttps://www.allaboutvision.com/resources/dominant-...
king bonkers.
I'd been resisting buying reading glasses for some time now, but I finally had to admit to myself I really do need them.
As I only need glasses for reading I decided to buy a pair of foldable Naninni's.
The box is only 10mm thick, I keep them in my pocket. Very unobtrusive, reasonably comfortable.

I need reading glasses and have found I need them more and more.
Having stood on a few pairs now I've got those cord things to hang em around my neck at work.
Seems to work well now I'm needing to use more often (like looking at anything less than 60cm away)
At first though when I hardly needed them except for up close reading I'd always be leaving them at home or in a jacket pocket
