when needed. Ordered some kind of divided lenses that allow for distance, mid range and closeup.
Also to prevent glare. Dr. said only wear them when driving. Which is what I intend.
As to cycling I have gotten along fine this past season with just sunglasses so we will see.
(I should not complain; my dear grandson has had to wear them since a young boy).
Get your glasses yet? I'm betting that after the DMV told you that you needed glasses, you are pretty astounded at how clear things look. Passing a vision test for your driver's license is pretty easy. I'm 58 and have had glasses for the last 10 years after my arms got too short. They corrected a slight stigmatism that has gotten slightly worse over the years but I can still pass my DL vision test without glasses. However, I find it scary to not have them on.
