the pains of a glasses wearer

i was just asking my dad when i can get contacts. i have been wearing glasses since grade 4 or solidly in grade 5.
at first, i thought it was so cool. in fact, i actually tried my best to damage my eyes (now that i think about it...i was REALLY stupid) because i thought glasses was cool. both my sister and dad had glasses and my dad's side of the family all wore glasses (now some wear contacts or had sugery). in my mind then, i just had to get glasses. end of story.

after years of wearing glasses, i realized how i actually really don't like it.
the annoying process of finding a new frame because the old frames are outdated. you have to try on different pairs, hoping they would match your face shape, not to mention...your clothing as well.

when it rains, you have rain droplets covering your entire lens and you look like an idiot who can't see, but if you wipe it off with a 'bad cloth', you make your lens blurry and they stain afterwards.

when you eat ramen or whatever, you lean down and both your lenses fog up.

when you watch a 3D movie, you have to wear glasses over glasses and throughout the movie, you have to constantly push up your 3D glasses because it won't sit still.

when you go swimming, you're blind.

in the school lab, you have to wear goggles/glasses over glasses. the constant pushing up of the protective eye gear becomes very annoying and distracting (at least for me) when you're doing a lab.

if you're lazy and don't wipe/clean your glasses often, stains accumulate to the point where if you don't clean it...you won't be able to see things clearly, but blotches.

when you take off your glasses, you have this funny (to people) habit where you would be pushing up your glasses...or in this case, pushing up nothing.

if you misplace your glasses, you're blind.

you should be aware of dangerous sports like hockey, basketball, baseball, tennis, etc.. sports that will expose you to flying balls which would crush your glasses on your face.

when you take off your glasses, you look awkward to people who have seen you your whole life with glasses.

after wearing glasses for so many years, you have this little spot for your frames (don't know how to explain this properly).

you now see the world with frames.

and these are just some of my issues with glasses.

  3. i wish i could somehow reblog this because you've said everything i feel about glasses. i wonder why some people spend the same amount of time on the web as I do but they end up with 20/20 vision.
    one thing i could change about myself would be perfect vision! such a hassle and painful wearing (hard) contacts
