As your die hard glasses wearer since 3rd grade I guess you can say I know a thing or two about the stereotypes with wearing glasses. This post comes a "debunker" for all non-glasses wearers who may have believed at least one of these things at a point in their life.

Disclaimer: This post was not made to be taken seriously but as a comic relief. My views are probably not shared by all glasses wearers around the world. I apologize in advance for my dry and slightly coarse humor.

1. "Can you see without your glasses?"

Yes, we can see, I promise most of us are not blind. Glasses are meant to increase our eyesight to 20/20 meaning we need glasses either to see things clearer or things that are foggy when farther away.

2. "What do you do when it's raining?"

I dry them off... I don't even know why this question bothers me so much, but as someone who's worn glasses for 7 full years you'd think I wouldn't have to answer some of these questions anymore. Believe me though when I say glasses wearers everywhere would rush to buy a slip-on "windshield wiper".

3. "Why don't you get contacts?"

If I had a dollar for every time I heard this one I'd be a millionaire. As someone who wears glasses, this one question, in particular, annoys me. Don't you think I know about contacts? My personal preference is glasses, I have tried contacts and I kid you not it was a struggle to put them in and take them out. Although glasses may not give me the flexibility of not having plastic in front of my eyes it gives me something contacts could never do, a fashion statement.

4. "Can I try them on?"

This is almost as bad as people asking to touch my hair. Do I ask to try on your shoes? No, then don't ask to try my glasses.

5. *tries glasses* "Man your eyesight must be really bad."

No, you have perfect eyesight and therefore do not need a device that brings my eyes to 20/20 vision.

6. "Are your glasses real?"


Do you think I'd be wearing glasses on a daily basis if they weren't? Yes, my glasses are real.

7. Oh, you look so much like *insert name of celebrity who happens to wear glasses*

Just because a celebrity and I both happen to wear glasses, does not mean that we look alike. Although this may sound a little petty, it quickly becomes apparent when someone is trying to find a way to compliment you.

8. "Does that make you a geek?"

Maybe I'm the only one who has heard such a stereotypical phrase (mainly from my little brother who really just doesn't know any better). Anyone can need glasses from your run-of-the-mill jock to your gamer. There is no one "box" that glasses wearers fit in.


9. That moment you notice your glasses are dirty...


10. The struggle that is makeup...


11. Losing your glasses.

I think this is one situation that all glasses-wearers have shared at one point in their lives. Accidentally misplacing your glasses and feeling like you've literally lost a limb.


Hope you enjoyed this post, because I had a lot of fun finding gifs for it. Comment down below if you agree (or disagree) with my top 11 glasses struggles.

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:
