18 Struggles Of People Who Wear Glasses

Being visually impaired is such an inconvenience. For those of us who need a little help to see the world clearly, it can be especially frustrating when our friends with 20/20 vision just don't understand what an inconvenience it is to worry about wearing contacts or glasses everywhere you go. Sure, you get to pick out cute glasses, but you are excited about them for all of a week until they, like all your previous pairs, prove to be nothing more than an inconvenience.

1. When your nose gets sweaty and your glasses fall off your face.

It's not that you're particularly sweaty, but your glasses always make the bridge of your nose extra slippery and keep slipping down, so you go around pushing them up all day.

2. You have limited peripheral vision wearing glasses.

You can only see what is in the squares of your lenses, and those don't move with your eyes as you look up and down and your frames block your side views

3. When your prescription is due for an update so you walk around not being able to see anything for a few weeks.

You pretend that everything is okay, but really you are squinting to see the board in class and don't recognize friends from a distance anymore.

4. When people want to try your glasses on.

Yes, I am blind. And no, you do not look cute with my glasses on. Please give them back so I can see; they are not your toy.

5. When your friends steal your glasses.

This is not funny. I NEED those.

6. When you can't find your glasses because you need your glasses to find things.

7. When your mascara gets on your glasses.

You worked so hard to look cute, and now your glasses are dirty and you can't see and all you wanted was to be pretty.

8. When your eye makeup is on point but no one notices behind your glasses.

They're just two pieces of glass, and glass is CLEAR!

9. Trying to put on makeup while blind.

I really tried to look cute, but I couldn't see what I was doing.

10. When it rains and you can't see anything .

They should really make windshield wipers for these things.

11. When your glasses fog up.

All I did was try to eat something hot, and now the whole world is blurry.

12. When people think you wear glasses for the hipster aesthetic.

Yes, glasses are cool, but you were wearing them before they were cool.

13. Trying to lay on your side to watch Netflix in bed.

And you can't just take them off because you need them to SEE.

14. Sunglasses.

You can't wear both sunglasses and glasses so you have to go with the sun in your eyes, get prescription sunglasses, or put in contacts.

15. When people don't recognize you without your glasses.

This is not some teen makeover movie. I still look the same.

16. Swimming.

And I thought I couldn't see right before.

17. Shaving.

18. Headbands.

You will never get to channel your inner Blair Waldorf while wearing glasses because the headache you get from wearing both is unbearable.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here.
