(GB/US) Well hello there! I have a little story for you to begin with. I am a person with
near-sightedness (5 degrees in left eye, 3.75 in right eye) and
astigmatism (2 degrees in right eye) since 2003, when I was in 4rth grade, about 9 years old. My parents got me a round pair of glasses like Harry Potter's with a gold chain so I won't lose them or break them in case they fall off my face. I am a huge glasses hater, mostly because of the bulling I was recieving since I was the only kid in my glass with glasses (and the most shy one). When, in 2011, I was allowed to wear contact lenses I just never wanted to be seen wearing glasses again. That changed 3 days ago, I got an eye infection and my doctor said to try not to wear my contacts for few days. This is seriously killing me right now. So, as I was laying in bed, staring the blurry ceiling I had the idea of this post.
Also, here is a picture of me with my Vogue glasses I have since 2007. The ONLY picture of me wearing glasses. I don't even bother to buy a new pair, I only wear them at home those last 6 years.
So, lets start with the struggles shall we?
#1 WHY ARE YOU ALWAYS SMUDGED
Aaaand they need to be constantly cleared. and you usually do it at your friend's shirt since they don't get as well clean at your shirt.
#2 THE "HOW MANY FINGERS ARE THOSE" PEOPLE
The 99% of people you tell your myopia degrees will raise their hand in distance less than 1 meter from you and show you 2 fingers asking this question. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
#3 THE "HOW DO I LOOK WITH YOUR GLASSES" PEOPLE
They get your glasses, wear them, and ask you "How do I look?". HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW I DON'T EVEN SEE YOU, YOU ARE A BLUR, JEEZZZ.
#4 RAIN
Everyone wishes their glasses must have windscreen wipers.
#5 PRESCRIPTION GLASSES. SWITCH. PRESCRIPTION SUNGLASSES. SWITCH.
Because of the indoors-outdoors transition.
#6 THE "WHY ARE YOU WEARING SUNGLASSES INDOORS" PEOPLE
Because they are prescription sunglasses. And much cooler.
#7 LOOKING FOR YOUR GLASSES BUT STILL SEE
Because you are wearing them already.
#8 BUT WHEN YOU ACTUALLY LOSE THEM YOU CAN'T LOOK FOR THEM BECAUSE YOU CANT SEE
Thinking to install a tracking mashine on them.
#9 YOU CAN'T SHOWER WITH THEM
So you have to get everyting you need nearby so you won't end up washing your hair with shaving cream.
#10 THE FOG
That happens when you drink something steamy hot or cook, or shower. Windscreen wipers. NEED.
Do you have any other struggles to add? I'd love to hear them in the comments!
