I'm nearsighted AND farsighted. FUN! I do take off my glasses sometimes or worse, look over the tops. Looking over the tops is a guaranteed headache but sometimes I have no hands handy or am just too lazy to take them off and find a place to put them (and I'm not quite ready for the string look). I am hoping to get new glasses very soon but I think I'll still have to take them off for the really close up stuff.
