Whether or not one needed to wear glasses to read a novel at night depended on the equipment used and the reading environment. If you use electronic devices such as a smartphone, tablet, or computer to read novels, you usually don't need to wear glasses. These devices have high-resolution screens that can clearly display text and images. However, if you read in a low-light environment, such as at night or indoors, you may need to wear glasses to get better vision. This is because the screens of electronic devices usually have low contrast, and insufficient light may cause blurred images. If you need to read novels at night or in a low-light environment, it is recommended to bring a pair of anti-blue glasses to reduce eye fatigue and discomfort.
