When I was younger, my vision was fine at all distances further away than my nose but not wearing my glasses for e.g. reading, sewing etc. longer than about half an hour gave me headaches. These days, I can't focus on small print at a comfortable distance for more than a few minutes (seconds, if already tired) before my eyes stop trying. Conversely, I used to wander round absent-mindedly with glasses on (and wonder why my hand-eye co-ordination stopped working) far more than I do now, because now it's harder work to use the glasses when I don't need them.
This means that anyone getting within kissing range is a bit blurry, but that any other sort of social interaction is more comfortable for my eyes if I'm not wearing glasses.
