30 Things All Glasses Wearers Will Understand

There are certain problems that only people wearing glasses will experience and understand.

Some are funny and some are just tiring to hear again and again.

Have you heard these statements before? Or have you experienced them?

Which ones of these can you check off from your ‘been-there-heard-that’ list?

1. I just want to lie down on my side

When all you want to do is lie down in bed and read a book or watch TV on your side. But this happens so know you’ll either need to sit up or make so many adjustments to make this work.

2. When you’re still not used to wearing contact lenses

You’ve worn glasses way longer than contact lenses. And there are some habits that are just hard to break.

Will there ever be a time when glass wearers can enjoy a steaming cup without their eyeglasses fogging up? It’ll be nice to actually see what we’re drinking after all.

5. A second later…

I just wipes this with a microfiber cloth. How is it smudged a second later?

6. When we first get glasses

7. Pesky rain

We hate it when it starts to rain and we have no umbrella or hat. And even when we wipe it off, it’ll make the lens even smudgier.

8. Eyeglasses = Magnifying lens

There’s a reason eyeglasses exist for a reason. And sometimes, it’s not just about eye vision.

9. What’s that?

I’m squinting but I still can’t see. Where are my glasses?

10. It’s a new fashion statement

Have you ever heard of duo glasses? Yeah, it’s a thing. And it only works on people who wear eyeglasses.

11. Is it 1 0r 2?

Hmmm. Let’s see. What’s the difference?

12. Out, damn spot, out, I say!

It doesn’t matter. No matter how many times we wipe it, even with the spray, it still comes out dirtier. What the hell.

13. Which one are you?

What’s number 6? That’s when you’re cooking and you don’t want the food to get on your glasses.

14. When you take off your glasses on the road

Yeah, that’s not gonna happen. I still want to get to my destination.

No one will ever know now, right? Well, maybe his children will try this on him.

Been doing this for years with perfect aim. And now, my finger misses? Damn.

19. The endless questions

They mean well but we’ve all heard all these questions from different people. Sometimes, it’s okay to ask more original questions, you know?

20. The trees have never looked greener

Suddenly, the world is clearer. And a little bit greener. And all it took was another pair of eyes.

21. Glasses are not pretty

Yeah, we were glasses to look good instead of, you know, being able to see. Thanks.

22. The big struggle

It’s bad enough we can’t breathe wearing these masks but can’t see in front of us either? Where is the justice?

23. Sparkles

The sparkles come out when the cameras come out. Every person with glasses know this dilemma and has dozens of photo albums to prove this theory.

24. Snapchat fail

Yeah, those Snapchat filters don’t work. They always think the glasses are the face.

25. Nerd or fashionable?

People who needed to wear glasses were always teased as nerds. And now, glasses are suddenly fashionable? Make up your mind, people.

26. Accidental android

People with glasses have to be careful how to place their laptop during video conference. Or else they’ll look like robots.

This would be perfect if it can prevent glasses from getting smudged again and again. This would be the perfect gift for every glass wearer.

29. Why do accidents have to happen?

All we need to do is place our glasses on the table and they suddenly break. And now we’re blind and need someone to hold us while we walk.

30. Selfie precaution

Never wear your glasses and take a selfie while facing the sun. That’s always a big mistake.
