I myself have been wearing glasses for about 9 years. This is my take on the problems that arise when faced with having to watch the world through a lens. So, without further ado, let's get cracking!
1. Four eyes
Oh, the struggle is real. The second you begin wearing glasses, is the second your name instantly changes to 'Four eyes'. Try playing a soccer match with some kids you don't know, your team will ONLY refer to you with that name. After all, it's all over your face, right?
2. Rain
Aren't these things supposed to, you know, actually HELP me see?
3. No proportion
If you're long-sighted, your eyes will look like those that cartoon Barbies have. Now, if you're short-sighted like me, people will begin to wonder if you've any eyes at all (but that's okay, you got your extra pair).
4. Sweat
Whether you're out in the heat or working out, sweat is your enemy. Seriously glasses, my cheeks can see alright, it's my eyes that need assistance!
5. Fogging up
Entered a warm room? This will make you more blind than the blindness you started off with. Oh, it was raining outside also? All the damn worse.
6. Losing your glasses
You panic. You vigorously check every corner, every inch of the sofa, looking for your glasses. When suddenly you realise..... They've been sitting on your nose the entire time.
7. Actually losing your glasses
And not finding them because you're blind as f*ck. Ironic much?
8. Lying down
Nice try. Don't do that. They'll break. They're expensive.
9. Nerd
I can't see for sh*t, I must be a nerd.
10. Smudged
That one tiny black dot at the corner that you just can't get rid of. And the dust. And a random fingerprint.
11. Constantly sliding them up
Your glasses stay in place but you'll still slide those babies up your nose. Over the years, it becomes a habit.
12. People constantly trying on your glasses
...and then saying 'wow! You really can't see!'. It's not like I'd sit in somebody's wheelchair and say 'wow! You really can't walk!'
13. Cinema
Congratulations. You are now a Six Eyes!
And just when you attempt to get rid of the frames...
...you end up playing a looong game of hide-and-seek.
Then once you DO find that one contact (or replace it with a new one because the other sucker's gone, Forever), and once you DO get it in...You'll continue sliding your finger up your nose every 5 seconds. :)
