People who wear glasses genuinely experience the world differently. While everyone else can go about their daily experiences and navigate through locations without the aid of medicated eyewear, they have to do so with the aid of one.
If you’re one of these people, we know what it’s like. Here are ten things you might just be able to relate to:
Needing your glasses to find your glasses
Isn’t this one of the most frustrating experiences ever? You need to use your hands to feel every surface or rummage through different things just to find your glasses. It’s you requiring the one thing you need to see, to find the one thing you need to see.
People assuming that you’re blind
People just assume you’re blind without the glasses. How do people even think that way?
People assuming that you’re full of wisdom
Wearing glasses means that people automatically assume you’re a sage or a nerd who knows everything. You even see it on TV and movies- a lot of characters who wear glasses are often smart, dorky and nerdy. People even call you ‘Doctor’ or ‘Professor’ and you’re just confused.

Going for the exhausting eye tests
Getting new glasses means that you have to undergo eye tests- reading random alphabets on a wall with one eye closed, looking at images through that weird instrument until your eyes get teary, and sitting down while the optometrist uses that flashlight thing (it’s called an ophthalmoscope) to look at your eyes, having to decide between two different lenses even though you can’t tell which one makes you see better. It’s tiring but it can be fun, sometimes.
Struggling to see in class after leaving your glasses at home
If you ever left your glasses at home at some point in your life, you surely know the struggles of having to copy your friends’ notes in class because you couldn’t see the board.
When people are so fascinated with your glasses
It’s amazing how a simple piece of eyewear can be so intriguing to people. You have friends, classmates, colleagues and family members asking you ‘Can I wear them?
Getting called all sorts of nicknames
You’ve had your fair share of people calling you Steve Urkel, ‘Four Eyes’, ‘Ojugo’ and ‘Prof’. It’s annoying, isn’t it?
Dealing with annoying questions
‘Can you see without your glasses?’
‘How many fingers am I holding up?”
‘Do you wear them to bathe?”
‘Are they recommended or shakomended?’
‘How many years have you been wearing glasses?”
ABEGGGGG.
Steaming up your glasses whenever you wear your facemask
If you wear your facemask often, you surely know the struggle of having your glasses feel foggy when you breathe beneath the mask.
And whenever you step out of the car or open a pot on the fire
You have to wait for the fog to clear or clean it yourself.
Not being able to compete in certain sports or go swimming
Having poor eyesight means that you might not be able to participate in sports like football and basketball, and swimming was a no-go area.
Finding creative ways to fix your glasses when they break
Remember when you broke your glasses and you had to find creative ways to fix your glasses? You tried using Sellotape, masking tape, broomsticks and even glue, to hold them together. 😅
