Used to wear them all the time for close and far, but since cataract surgery I only wear them for outdoors and driving. So, the problem becomes keeping track of them. Also since I don't need them around the yard, I will wear safety glasses usually to go outside because after 50 years of always having glasses on, it is easier to get poked in the eye by a branch (our yard partly wooded). Kid across the street from us was strapping some boxes with a bungee cord and it snapped back. He is virtually blind in one eye now, only has peripheral and that blurry, in the injured eye. 14 years old. Glasses probably saved me from a lot of eye injury though things can and have come around the sides. Hence, safety glasses that are more enclosing.

Sunglasses rather than regular glasses. I hate it when I'm outside and it's very hot, and a drop of sweat leaves a streak down the lens. Especially when my shirt is also sweaty so I don't have anything readily on hand to clean the lenses.

I only exercise in sunglasses with partial frames (i.e. no frame at the bottom) for this reason - at least a drop of sweat can drip off the bottom of the lens.

I don't hate them at all. I need them to drive, that's it. I used to wear contacts, but eventually stopped ordering as the cost and hassle weren't worth it. If I go somewhere where I need them to see distance (beyond driving), I'll wear, but this is relatively rare and I'm fine with them otherwise.
