Thankfully haven't had THAT problem for a while...
I only wear my glasses for a few minutes each day, now, if that. Usually the time it takes me to walk between my bedroom and the bathroom when I get up in the morning or am about ready to go to bed. I wear contacts most of the rest of the time (not the gas permeable ones, though; my eyesight is so poor that I have to special order contacts, and getting the gas permeable ones would be too expensive).
I can read without them, and I can make my way around the house, and I can distinguish people, but I can't tell much more than whether they're male or female without my glasses or contacts; sometimes not even that.
About the only time I wear glasses for more than an hour or two anymore is if I'm going on a long trip and don't plan on driving, and I want to get some sleep.
