Whether you wear glasses or not, these are some of the common daily struggles people who wear glasses have to endure. If you're a glasses-wearer you'll understand perfectly well and relate to these. If you're not, then maybe this article will give you a newfound appreciation for your perfect vision, those who handle these seemingly simple everyday actions, or both.

31 Things Only People With Glasses Can Relate To:

1. Having everyone want to try on your glasses to see how bad your vision is

2. And then enduring the usual shocked exclaim of how blind you are: no kidding, the glasses are being worn for a reason. It's like taking a persons wheelchair and exclaiming how they really can't walk.

3. And then they have the audacity to ask you how many fingers they are holding up. My vision is blurred, not nonexistent.

4. Having your glasses fog up from the steam of opening the dishwasher, drinking a hot beverage, or eating a soup.

5. Or fearing that you'll cut yourself or miss a spot when shaving in the shower since you can't see without your glasses

6. And is that a fuzzy on the carpet or a hairy spider?

7. Help! I can't see the computer screen without my glasses!

8. Or my own feet.

9. Being unable to comfortably lay down while wearing your glasses.

10. Misplacing your glasses somewhere and having to search for them. They were extremely valuable the first two weeks, but then you learned to take them for granted by losing and abusing them.

11. Going to class without your glasses and having to squint like the elderly all day to be able to read the board or screen.

12. And then seeing people as strange, blurry blobs, wondering who's who and if that's your friend or your enemy: you can't tell cause you can't see.

13. Is that person waving at me or someone else? I can't see where their eyes are looking and I'll look awkward waving back. And then I just look like a jerk for ignoring them if they are in fact waving at me.

14. And is your crush staring at you or looking the other way? You can't tell and it makes you feel self conscious.

15. Having to constantly clean the smudges from the lens that obscure your vision.

16. Trying contacts because they seem easier.

17. Then wanting your glasses back because they're more comfortable for your eyes, since the contacts itch or bug.

18. Or make you look like you're an emotional wreck--No, it's the contacts! I'm not crying, I swear!

19. Or just being too lazy in the morning and then choosing your glasses over contacts. No need bothering to put those little suckers in when you can just plop those glasses on.

20. Then realizing contacts are more preferable than seeing through frames that distract or bother. It's like looking through two little portholes.

21. And then the glasses always wind up sliding down your nose.

22. Then there's the issue during a science lab where you have to wear goggles over your glasses and you feel foolish.

23. Being unable to wear sunglasses is a pain.

24. And 3D movies only frustrate you.

25. When the rain hits you run for cover. Can't there be an invention already where glasses come with their own little umbrellas?

26. And then swimming is a struggle. Guess I can't join the swim team after all.

27. Putting on makeup is a struggle and your mascara smudges because the glasses lens think it's funny to make you look like a raccoon.

28. And people always comment on how you look so different without glasses than you do with them. Uh, that wasn't me, that was my twin with poor vision.

29. Although, you realize that you can use that to your advantage and glasses suddenly become a fashion accessory.

30. Constantly feeling jealous when others unintentionally (or intentionally) brag that they have perfect vision.

31. But then feeling smug when you can use the "I'm blind, I can't see" excuse and they can't.

Glasses suddenly become who you are. They are your identity, your best friend, and your security blanket. Sure, they come with their own set of issues, but what doesn't? You're so used to glasses that eventually you learn to accept these every day struggles and realize that you aren't alone. Those fellow glasses-wearers know exactly what you're going through and you feel connected in this ever-growing community of hipster-looking heroes battling their way through the struggles that coincide with having to wear glasses.
