You know that Acuve Oasis commercial? You remember, the one where the actors are like, “One day, I’m gonna become a rock-star!” Well, buckle down kids because today, we are going to talk about the other reality of that commercial. That’s right, we are going to talk about the bright side of unclear vision. So without further ado, here are five things that just look better blurrier.

1. The Mirror In the Morning

*Beep Beep Beep.* It’s 7:30 A.M. You slam your fist down on the alarm, grab your glasses, and head to the bathroom. As the light flickers on when you hit the switch, you can only wish that it could blind you from what you’re about to see- yourself in the mirror. Although the glasses, zit cream, and retainer-covered smile may be a “Honey, you’re beautiful!” sight to your mom- you can’t help but cringe when you have to witness it yourself. Solution? No glasses. It just makes the struggle that much easier.

2. A Bad Test Grade

The day has arrived. The day when you’re teacher decides to FINALLY return that test that they got around to grading. The test that caused you to cry and call your dad to talk about just a few weeks earlier. The test that is giving you more and more anxiety by the second. As the time ticks down and you prepare your “How can I pull up my grade?” plead, you face the reality that you will have to meet your doom soon. In this moment, instead of losing your cool, just lose those glasses! That dreaded letter grade would look soooo much prettier without them.

3. Twinkly Christmas Lights

“Woahhh,” you exclaim as you sleepily walk into the living room during Christmas time. With your favorite slippers and superhero pajamas on, you fail to notice what your ensemble is missing- your glasses. You don’t notice this because the sight of the slightly blurred and twinkly Christmas lights has left you in awe. So, you just sit on the couch, sip on your hot chocolate, and admire the scene before you.

4. The Calorie Count On That Late-Night Snack

It hits that time in the night when you hear it. You hear your sweet tooth calling you to your cupboard, and you just can’t ignore it. As you fumble your way down the steps to the kitchen and open your cabinet door, you realize that you can’t see anything inside. At this point, you are too tired to go upstairs and put your glasses on. So, you blindly play a guessing game that turns out to be way more fun than you expect. Screw the calorie count on that Cap'n Crunch box, you’re going all in.

5. The Score Board When Your Team Isn’t Scoring

It’s game day, baby. You have your favorite jersey on. You got your buff-chick dipped Tostito in hand. The only thing that is missing is…well…your team’s game. With that being said, you wish that your glasses could be missing too. You wish that your team could be using them to see what they are doing wrong (pun completely intended). You wouldn’t even mind because you certainly don’t want to use them to see the scoreboard.
