He only needs them for computer and TV though.Strangely the optician said I had the beginnings of cataracts but they don't cause me bother and she said everything was fine and it was normal for someone of my age.I have worn specs since I was 15 months old but didn't wear them during my teenage years as someone told me " Girls don't make passes at guys who wear glasses"
When I wore specs, I paid more for lighter lenses, varifocals and non-reflective coatings. The optician told me that the best thing for me would be cataract surgery so that I wouldn't need strong lenses. Sure, enough, that's what happened and now, all I need are cheap reading glasses. Took a long time to get used to not wearing glasses - as I started when I was 8 - but now, that's all history. How are your cataracts?
No glasses worn on my wedding photo's so perhaps they were right! 
Optician showed me pictures of the back of eyeball and said they were excellent, but I had no idea what I was looking at and just agreed with her with a nod and smile!
