Hubby got a new pair of eye glasses

My hubby tried of using contact lenses and switch to eye glasses. But sometimes, he would say, he needed to buy and wear contact lenses cause it look good on him-true! He is near sighted so he has trouble recognizing someone in a far distance. I told him that both my parents use reading glasses. They can see and recognize anybody but they could not see or read words without wearing reading eyeglasses.
