Eye don't want to make a spectacle out of it, but eye have worn glasses for as long as eye can remember. They can definitely be a pain sometimes, and lens be real: resorting to contacts often seems like the only option. These are some things that all glasses wearers can relate to on a daily basis.
1. The nose grips on wire frames press in on either side of your nose.
2. Picking out new glasses can be both fun and stressful with all the choices.
3. Other people ask to try them on.
This tends to be followed by comments like, "You look better without your glasses on," and there's the occasional, "How many fingers am I holding up?"
4. When they're off (or you have contacts in), you still push on the bridge out of habit to adjust them on your face.
5. Trying to lie on your side rarely works.
All you want is to get comfortable, but you can't because you're glasses get pushed to the side of your face, and yet laying on your back is just bleh.
6. Getting hit in the face hurts more.
I got hit in the face with a volleyball in seventh grade. My glasses made it so much worse.
7. Rain makes seeing unbearably difficult.
8. Not having a cleaning cloth handy means you just have to use the nearest suitable article of clothing.
9. You may get dark circles under your eyes when you wear them for a long time.
10. Getting stuff on lenses is the worst.
I've gotten food, sweat, tears and paint on my lenses over the years. Not one of those is fun to clean off.
11. Getting used to a new prescription is always disorienting, no matter how many times you've done it.
12. They slide off your face when you're sweaty.
13. "You wear glasses, so you must be smart" and other similar comments or jokes are the worst.
They also get really annoying after hearing enough of them.
14. You panic when you can't find them.
15. You fog up your lenses with your breath in cold weather or while standing in a steamy room.
16. Glare in photos is unavoidable.
17. 3-D glasses, lab goggles, sunglasses. Do you wear them on top or take the glasses off?
You have to decide if it's worth the eyesore, or if you'd rather just not be able to see what's happening.
