Nowadays, lots of people need glasses or contact lenses[1]. This story gives you some vocabulary, plus ways to compliment someone (they suit you) and typical questions to ask (are you nearsighted or are you farsighted?).[2]
By the way, English is strange. If you’re nearsighted, like many younger people, you can see to read but not far away. If you’re farsighted, you need reading glasses! If you have 2.0/2.0 vision[3], it’s perfect.
How about you? Do you prefer glasses or contacts? Or, do you want laser eye surgery[4]?
A: Hey, nice glasses! Are they new?
B: Yes, I just got them last week.
A: Nice! I like the frames[5]. They really suit you.
B: Thanks. They’re very light. I really like wearing them.
A: Where did you get them?
B: I went to Charlie’s Opticians[6]. They have a good selection of designer frames and they’re cheap.
A: The lenses are a little dark. Are they tinted[7]?
B: They have a coating[8] that get dark in the sun and gets light indoors. That way, I don’t need shades[9]. My eyes are sensitive to light.
A: Having glasses like that is very convenient.
B: Yes, and I save money, too. Prescription[10] sunglasses are expensive.
A: Are you nearsighted or farsighted?
B: Both. These are bifocals[11]. I’m getting on a bit. Getting old is hard.
