It all depends on the degree of farsightedness. If you just need them to read and distance vision is okay, then no.
Eyeglasses are a means to see clearly. The eyes will do their best whether or not you wear your eyeglasses. This is a personal choice. If you wear them, you will have sharper vision. If you don't care, then don't wear them. However, in many, uncorrected farsightedness can lead to headaches so keep this in mind. =20
You may find that you will need to wear them more as you age. If you are comfortable without them now , you do not need to.
Depending upon what you mean by being very farsighted you probably should wear your glasses all the time. You may even need a new prescription in addition to your distance prescription called a bifocal or trifocals In order to have a comfort and reduce eye fatigue.
