I recently had a conversation with my boyfriend about his new glasses. He was struggling to drink some hot coffee because his glasses kept fogging up. I have had my glasses for about a year now, and I thought I would type up a list of things he can expect in exchange for the gift of sight. Feel free to add on to my ever growing list of struggles we bespectacled people suffer through.

When you first get your glasses and you realize how visually impaired you were

Bumping into things while you try to get used to them

How they constantly slide down your nose

How your glasses fog up when you try to drink something hot

Trying to lay down with them on

Setting them down somewhere, and then not being able to find them again because you don't have your glasses on

How easily the lenses get smudges on them, and how hard they are to get clean

Not having prescription sunglasses, so you try to do the sunglasses and regular glasses combo

The imprint your glasses leave on your nose

The headache you get from wearing them

The headache you get when you don't wear them and strain your eyes too much

Realizing you will might need a stronger prescription

Still bumping into everything even when you have them on

Okay, maybe the last one is just me being clumsy...
