YES.  I have been mildly near-sighted since puberty, and now wear no-line trifocals.  I do not need them to watch tv or drive, but do need them to read.  I'm 71 and read a lot, so wear my glasses most of the time.  I actually see better without them.  I do have cataracts which I am having removed soon.

This happened to me. I had worn contacts, only one in my right eye for many years, when I noticed that I was forgetting to place my contact in place. When I had my eye exam, my test revealed that my eyes had improved. I did not need the correction that I had for many years. So for several years I did not wear my contact. I chose contacts over wearing glasses. After a while, my eyes returned to needing correction again, at the same value before the improvement. My Dr said this happens occasionally to people.

@Mothertrucker.  Yes, it's quite common.  A film grows over the eye impeding vision.  Your doctor can remove it with a laser.  It takes about 5 minutes...no pain or big deal.  I had it develop several months after my cataract surgery.  You need to go for an eye exam.

@lbwshop.  I cannot read worth a darn with either pair of my prescription lenses.  My doctor said it's perfectly okay to use cheap readers if they work better for you.  Joy Mangano, here I come!

Thank you @Kachina624- It got so bad so fast, and it has been over 6 years since my surgery, so I didnt think it COULD be that, but you are right, I went in the next day and you are correct! I am going in on Tuesday to have it lasered..Thank you very much !
