I’ve worn them since I was 10

I wore them in the office when I was in my early 20's but that was mainly because I was typing a lot. I could actually read ok I just used to get a lot of eye strain, in my late 30's it got to be a must

Welcome to our world 

oooo, I didn't know that. 125 mls of wine is a legal requirement to be sold  but outlets  are breaking the law by only giving 175mls when asked for a small glass of wine

but that's 50mls more 

I'm watching a prog on C4 plus one called tricks of the restaurant trade where they did a test. Someone went into various outlets and was only given 175 mls.

No, it's whats called upselling. they're supposed to give 125 when someone asks for a small glass and a lot of outlets don't do 125's only 175.

125 is supposed to be sold by law
