I got my first pair of readers at 46. I've been wearing contacts for distance and astigmatism correction since 18 and also have my first pair of very expensive progressive glasses since age 46 (I'm 47 now, getting close to 48). However, I've been spoiled by contacts and I hate being tied to glasses, they're not good for athletics, and they make my eyes tired, so I much prefer contacts at work (plus readers over them when I need to read fine print). So it was cool to find some cute, colorful readers instead of the boring ones I've been buying at the drugstore.

My DH never needed glasses of any kind until he was 50, when he started needing readers. He just bought them at the drugstore, but every year needed a stronger pair. Now, at 55, he wears progressive glasses full-time since even his distance vision is needing a slight bit of correction.
