Needing glasses to read anything

Didn't them at all until I was over 40 and even then I could struggle, but still read w/o them. Not any more. I have 4 pairs now: one for the store, one for the office, one for the dining table (I read while I eat) and one in my pocketbook. I am lost w/o them but I can't wear them all the time because I can't see crap far away with them on.
The next step is the dreaded glasses chain.
