1. Getting new glasses is like entering a whole new world.

You can see every leaf on the trees. You can read every street sign. The world is yours!

2. People think you’re blind without them.

Things are just blurry, not gone. You can see all of their fingers. You just can't read the menu.

3. And you almost are?

When you don't have your glasses, you can't do anything. The world stops moving until you have them back.

4. You squint sometimes and make a stupid face because your vision still isn’t perfect.

Glasses can be a great benefit, but mostly for those who are either nearsighted or farsighted. They are not much help for those in-between.

5. One Word: Smudges.

Oh, the smudges. Someone famous once said, it is a pain to clean your glasses, but a pleasure to have cleaned them. Or something like that.

6. Sports are a no-no.

You can't break your glasses! The risk of smashing them when getting hit in the face is far too high!

7. Glasses are dorky.

Yeah, sometimes this is true.

8. Glasses are sexy.

Always true. Always.

9. And it’s annoying when girls in movies aren’t seen as desirable until they take their glasses off.

No, it's not like she needed those to see or anything, go ahead, steal them to make her "pretty."

10. And yet there’s always this dramatic scene:

I'm getting mixed messages, Hollywood.

11. Sometimes you forget you’re wearing them.

They were right there, mom!

12. Until you go to a 3D movie.

How are you supposed to wear them? Double up? Hold them the whole time?

13. Or outside on a sunny day, when you experience the searing pain of an ant under a magnifying glass.

The sun! It burns! And there aren't any sunglasses to save you because...well...glasses.

14. In the rain, you are protected yet blinded.

It's almost worse than having smudges, but at least you won't get anything in your eyes. It's like wearing lab safety goggles all the time. And, if you were lucky, your chemistry teacher let you work without goggles because of your glasses.

15. Cold weather causes your glasses to fog up.

Stepping inside? Outside? Or out of the shower? It's always foggy.

16. Or crying.

It's all so foggy and wet.

17. Sometimes they fly off your face. Like when you sneeze.

Or when your friend brake-checks the guy behind them while driving, and your glasses go flying into the windshield of the car.

18. They’ve become a part of who you are as a person.

It's your aesthetic, you built this brand.
