Poll if you knew you needed glasses but put it off how long? What age did you know and what age did you get glasses. What made you get them?

I was about 13 when we figured it out; my maths grades started inexplicably falling, and eventually we figured out that I could no longer differentiate between plus signs and division signs. My parents took me straight to the optometrist and I got glasses straight away.

I had no qualms about getting the glasses. I was much more concerned about my grades than any stupid idea of "not looking cool".

I think I was 9 when my parents figured out I needed glasses. I was in the car with my mom, and we were passing a giant clock tower-- she asked me what time it was, and I had no idea, because I couldn't see the numbers on the clock.

I'd also been really struggling to learn how to read analog clocks, which helped tip my parents off. I got glasses right away, because I didn't care about how I looked, I just wanted to be able to see.

I didn't realize how bad my eyesight was, once I got my glasses I was amazed by how much I could see. I drove my parents crazy reading every single road sign, because I was so happy I could actually see them.

Well I barely put it off any. I found out I needed glasses when I was 10 and that very day I went out looking for glasses with my mom. What made me get them was when I went to the eye doctor, because my pediatrician was concerned about my vision. I failed the vision test.
