Wearing glasses used to be something that was laughed at; only nerds and bookworms wore glasses that signified their lack of coolness. Then suddenly, people started wearing glasses with no lenses because they thought it looked cool, and spectacle-wearing folk all over the world rolled their eyes. Regardless of whether it is a fashion fad or not, there are things that people who genuinely wear glasses go through that those with 20/20 vision will never understand.
Losing glasses after showering
Most people who have worn glasses for years would have experienced this multiple times. After a nice, warm shower, you trudge out of the toilet and find, to your horror, that your glasses aren’t where you have left them before you shower for the past 10 years. And you proceed to panic.

Can’t find glasses when you wake up
On the other hand, there are also those few times that you knocked out after a hard night of partying or a hard day’s work, and realise when you wake up that your glasses aren’t at your bedside table. And you proceed to panic.
Can’t find your glasses in school
You knew your glasses were somewhere after you removed them to rub your eyes, but they’re nowhere to be found – until your classmates laugh at your stupidity because they’re just perched on top of your head.
Near death experiences
Especially for boys, the screws on glasses threaten to deface you or pierce your eyes at any moment when you’re playing any kind of contact sport, be it basketball or football.
Fogging
As you step off the cool bus and onto the sweltering pavement in the tropical Singaporean heat, you instantly become blinded by condensation and proceed to knock into some innocent bystander. Hurts both the body and the ego.
Watching 3D/4D movies
While everyone else just puts their 3D or 4D glasses on, we have to struggle to get it over our glasses. And keep adjusting it so that we can see properly.
Fashion struggles
We always have a tough time deciding on our frames. Colour? Style? Shape of lenses? Get it right and we’re set; get it wrong, and we risk looking totally weird.
Permanent scarring
If you’ve worn glasses for most of your life like me, you know you’ve got permanent scarring above your ears and on your nose. I call them battle scars.
