I got my first pair of glasses when I was in the third grade.

When I was 14 I started getting headaches. I went to the school nurse who had me take off my glasses and read the eye test. I passed without my glasses.

My mom took me to the eye doctor and decided I no longer needed glasses. Strange.

I’m 28 now and still don’t wear glasses. Oddly enough I’m farsighted and have 20/20 in one eye, 20/40 in the other. I am supposed to wear glasses when I read or drive, but I don’t.
