Now closed: win one of six pairs of Eyejusters

I need them to read my book, recipes and sadly menus too now

Everything from reading the computer screen, to threading a needle

I have noticed recently that apart from reading I now need my glasses for working on the computer and for when I'm writing letters - yes some of us still use a paper and pen!

It was originally just for reading small print but now I find I need them more and more,using the computer , sewing knitting etc. Thinking of having them on a chain round my neck!!.

Crochet
Reading
Looking for where I've put my specs
Chopping ( I like my fingers on my hands, they stop them fraying)
Tablet
GN the print comes up really small on my tablet

I use reading glasses when using the computer at home and work and at work for reading the on calll lists as I find the print is too small.

Sewing, knitting, reading, writing, rithmatic (if I ever need to do any). I find I am using them more and more as the years go by but the optician is still happy for me to buy them at the supermarket.

I have reading glasses for all close up work, but now also glasses for distance for when I'm out and about, sometimes I get them muddled up and have a wee panic moment :/

To see my gorgeous grandson properly - when he was born I held him in my arms and just thought 'Aren't you cute?', then I put my glasses on and couldn't think straight for falling in love with him!

Reading, crafts, computer, diy, etc, etc..

I need reading glasses but I get frustrated with how close I have to bring object to my face to see. Seems different things require different placement. I've often resorted to just taking my glasses off and bringing the object inches from my eyes.

I need my reading glasses for:

Looking for ticks on the dog
Reading stories to grandchildren
iPad browsing, kindle reading
Filing my nails
Cutting my nails
Painting my nails
Matching paint colours.
Washing labels on clothes
Vegetable and food preparation
.....the list is endless! ( good job I re read...I had typed 'the lust is endless!)

I do not presently have glasses. Though some members of my family do. My sister uses her glasses for reading and looking at photographs. Though most people tend to require glasses as they age, my Mum had a friend who never required glasses :- She was reading magazines aged 99 years, and died just about a fortnight before she would have been 100 years old. She was a very cheerful, pleasant woman whom, when we asked her if she was looking forward to her telegram from the Queen ( if / when she reached 100). Would say "a telegram, no. I want to meet her. I think I deserve that for reaching 100". She would have been delighted if she had ever met the Queen, and would have been ever so polite with her. Probably cheering her up, as she did with most people she met. Had a Wonderful disposition.

I have a pair on a chain permanently round my neck nowadays as I need them for just about anything close up. I read a lot, draw, write, sew, and go online every day and could not do without my trusty glasses.

I need my specs, which are bifocal for more and more reasons, instructions on packets and jars being the latest can't see items.

I have prescription varifocals but I could do with these reading glasses to give to my husband who needs different prescriptions for reading and computer work.

What a great idea!
I currently have 3 pairs of cheap supermarket reading glasses dotted around the house and another pair permanently in my handbag The older I get, the more I seem to need them...and the more I seem to mislay them
Indoors, they're on for reading, writing, using the computer, knitting, sewing, following recipes....My daughter asked me to sew some badges yesterday on to my grandson's Cub jersey , using invisible thread. Just threading the needle was a challenge...requiring and
Outdoors, I need them in the garden, deciphering the small print on the seed packets, bug spray, plant food etc....
Shopping, they're on and off all the time, checking ingredients in the small print etc.
In fact, I'm beginning to wonder if there's anything I can do without them

knitting i can hardly see the needles or yarn without them!

Reading,knitting, sewing and writing and working on the computer.

Pretty much everything. Especially the argos catalogue. That thing has shrunk over the years!

reading medicine instruction, i swear they are getting smaller and smaller.

looking: at ingredients on labels
instructions
recipes
reading books and magazines _which I love
painting
sewing
and computer operating
most of all filling in forms for all sorts of purposes ,including competions!

I have had hard contact lenses for distance vision for 45 years but as I got older began to need reading glasses over them for close up work. Without the lenses I can read or sew without a problem. A few years ago on holiday I met a lady with similar vision who only wore one lens. This gave her one eye for close work the other for distance. When I got home I asked my optician what he thought and he said it was a good idea especially if I could alternate the lenses as it would be healthier for my eyes. I have been doing this for 10 years now. Sadly my near sight continues to get worse and I will soon be needing the reading glasses again - for only for very small print and for threading needles!

After macular hole surgery last year I need reading glasses for checking my daft typing. It's quite amusing to see what I have typed or 'itd quote amudong to see whsy I habe tyoed'. See what I mean?!
