I feel the poll on what you wear/wore at your office should have included a choice for those of us who wear/wore a uniform.

Watching Bush deliver the congratulation speech the morning after Obama won in 2008 was something in hindsight. That speech was totally boring and boilerplate-unremarkable for its time, but one just can’t imagine Trump delivering something like it.
Agent 13 (David Ketchum) is an agent who is usually stationed inside unlikely, sometimes impossibly small or unlucky places, such as cigarette machines, washing machines, lockers, trash cans, or fire hydrants. He tends to resent his assignments.
I voted that I don’t have an office to go to; but I do have an office. It’s just that it’s in my house, and I don’t wear anything different in the office than I’d be wearing around the house anyway; which is usually the same thing as I wear out in the fields, though in cold weather with fewer layers.
I don’t remember exactly what year I discovered that I needed multifocals; so I couldn’t vote in that extremely precise poll. I’m pretty sure it was somewhere in my 40’s. I’ve worn glasses since I was 6 and it should probably have been more like 6 months, except I don’t think it’s possible to get a baby to wear glasses. Or, even if possible, not advisable.
I got my first pair of glasses in 2020, 2 months before turning 43. I had trouble getting them to understand at first that reading small print isn’t an issue, reading street signs is, and I didn’t want to fail the visual when I renewed my license. Eventually they got it…but also wanted to know if I was having issues with small print. No. No. They still didn’t believe me until I read the smallest row on the chart for them without errors.
My mom’s near vision was terrible since childhood and my dad didn’t need readers until his 50s, so I’m hoping that my brother and I continue to take after him more than her vision-wise. Neither parent was particularly nearsighted, though, and we both are now so who knows.
Ditto. And i still don’t need glasses to read. I’m writing this on my phone without wearing glasses. But i need my distance glasses to have less correction on the bottom so i can read when i wear them. And i rarely get out of bed without putting on my distance glasses, which are digital progressives.
I have never changed a car’s cabin air filter, nor have I ever paid someone else for that service. In fact, I’ve never considered changing one.
I’m sure my driving experience has suffered.
Only time I’ve ever worked in an office was the three years when I was on squadron staff, back in the '90s, and of course I wore a uniform.
I’ve been short-sighted in one eye since 8th grade; got a pair of glasses in 12th but hated them and quit wearing them after a month or so. I was ordered to get glasses whilst at subscol in '82; finally started wearing them regularly in '89, when I transferred to Scotland. I still don’t wear them in the house, as there’s nothing that far away, but I’m required to wear them whilst driving. And I drive people crazy when I read – I either hold the book in my lap and read it with my left eye, or hold it a foot away from my face and read it with my right eye. 
I do need the glasses when reading tiny print, such as in my three-volume edition of the OED. (Each page of it has four pages of the multi-volume original.)
Like kayaker, I’ve never thought about changing the cabin air filter in any of my cars.
I didn’t dislike Natalie on Monk, but I liked Sharona better. It seemed fitting to me that Monk’s partner didn’t completely have her shit together either, but she made up for it with a forceful personality. The dynamic worked better. Natalie was just kind of… there. The most interesting thing about her was her daughter.
I work from home 2 days a week. I don’t change clothes just for that. I don’t really have meetings I have to attend, and on the rare occasion I do, I leave the video off.
At the office, jeans and a clean quarter-zip no-hood sweatshirt. I’m either in the back at my desk where no one sees me, or out front behind the service desk.
A friend got a bunch of speeding tickets, so he was required to retake his drivers test. He had an “L” on his license (corrective lenses required), but he hated wearing glasses. So, he got fitted for contacts, told the drivers license examiner that his vision was surgically corrected, and passed the exam easily, getting the “L” removed!
I need the progressive multifocals; I do various things at different distances from my face. I need to be able to see down the road and to see the gauges on the car dashboard, and I need to be able to see the weeds I’m hand-pulling from the strawberries, where I’m going on the tractor, and whether that’s my dog at the edge of the field or some other creature.
But while I can read with my glasses on, and do so routinely on the desktop computer screen (generally with somewhat magnified type to make it easier), I find that for non-computer reading it’s actually easier without my glasses on. While between nearsightedness and farsightedness my area of clear vision has gradually narrowed to a small area, I can readily hold a book, magazine, etc in that area; and if I try to read such things with my glasses on, I have to keep moving my head, because the area of focus with the multifocals at normal book distance is small and if I just move my eyes along the line, as I usually read, part of the field is blurry.
I sit far enough back from the computer screen that that’s not a problem, and magnify text enough to make up for the distance.
And though it’s not supposed to be, it’s still easier to read really small print without my glasses, if I can get it close enough to my face.
Doesn’t seem like a safe driver to me.
I have a pair of single vision (non progressive) glasses for reading and computer specifically because the progressive focus area is so tiny and annoying. Single vision glasses are cheap, so why not?
I can’t see well more than 10 feet, but that’s fine for what I use them for.
Aside from the fact that I have multiple vision issues so cheap single vision glasses are unlikely to work: I don’t read in only one spot, and I have more than enough stuff to carry around in my pockets without adding an easily breakable item to the collection. I’d need at least a dozen pairs, and still probably wouldn’t always have one to hand.
Much easier to take off my glasses and hold the book to my face. I’m not going to forget to put the glasses back on when I move because the world’s all blurry without them, starting much closer than 10 feet.
Oh, I have astigmatism and near and far vision issues, but I can get a non progressive prescription set that works for just nearish and work very well. I love them, and barely tolerate progressives. But correction is v personal, you do you. 
I work from home three days a week. I usually get dressed to take my kid to daycare and when I have meetings, which is fairly often. But depending on the day I might be wearing athleisure rather than business attire.
At work I strive for business casual but nobody actually cares. I’ve worn khaki-style shorts and a company t+shirt before. I prefer to be a bit more dressed; I tend to work harder. It’s a psychological thing. But “a bit more dressed” on a day like today means: black pants, a long wrap-style cotton cardigan, and tennis shoes.
I couldn’t tolerate progressives until i tried digital progressives, sometimes called premium progressives. The sales pitch was that the “sweet spot” where you can focus is larger. And it is. But the real win for me is that i don’t get the weird distortions around the edges, so i don’t get headaches.
I had three pairs of glasses i was juggling. Regular progressives that gave me headaches but worked for work. Single vision distance glasses for driving and movies. And bifocals for things like conferences and religious services, where i needed to be able to read, but also wanted to be able to recognize people at a distance without aiming my face directly at them.
I got the digital progressives and within a week, the other three pairs of glasses were put away in a drawer.
When I was young, glasses meant “4 eyes”, so I did my best to pass the eye test (it was typically the "E"s one). I mean, it was a test, after all, you wanted to pass it. Which meant I got glasses at 9, about 6 years after I should have. And my left eye has always been about a mile behind my right eye – they do not make normal lenses that can correct it (hard contacts, the only kind I have used, do come close, and I try to get the right eye under-corrected, for balance).
In my early 40s, I began to notice issues at work, trying to write up production run sheets, as I always wore my contacts. If I can get corrective lens replacements (lasik is way out of bounds), I will go for mono-vision, with reading distance in my right and distance in the left (backwards, but I do read a lot, and most of the important stuff I need to see happens on m left).
I think I actually have a pair of those, though the eyeglass place used neither term. They just described a super accurate grind (perhaps scrubbed by tiny angels with abrasive butt pads flying about) that reduced the ‘blur zone’ to almost nothing. And it worked, though they were breathtakingly expensive: $700 (yipe!) just for the lenses, where a regular set of prog lenses was like $200, all sans frames. It was an improvement, but I still dislike progressives and only use them for driving, movies, and social stuff. Too much tilting my head up and down.
I think my single vision lenses, slightly different correction per eye, was like $100ish dinero IIRC.
