This is a subject that probably has many answers. All depends on your vision and where you sit in the group. In 1997 I noticed I needed reading glasses, so had special bifocals set in the middle of the glasses I wore for my nearsightedness. As someone pointed out with another set up, I had to move my head to follow the music, especially a problem when I was soloing with the band. So I then used straight reading glasses. Fortunately being 1ist chair, I was right under the conductor's nose, so my fairly bad nearsightedness was not really a problem--I could look through the reading glasses or over them. Then in 2005 I had Lasic, so no longer needed glasses for nearsightedness, just reading glasses. Since then it was the same-- over or through the glasses, no different. Now without the Lasic, this may have been a problem had I been somewhere in a back row of the band.
Everyone's situation is a bit different and your situation can change over years.
