22 Problems Only People With Truly Terrible Eyesight Understand

You can read that street sign??

1. For the main thing, it sucks to be totally helpless without a piece of hardware you keep on your face.

2. You've seen this so many times you've just memorized it, rendering it unusable.

3. Forget having glasses and bangs. Just forget it.

4. People who don't even NEED glasses are wearing them to look "cool."

5. You've known the terror of forgetting your contacts case and needing to use someone's cups.

6. It's impossible to keep up on cool glasses trends. What was once nerdy...

7. ...is now the cool thing worn by pop stars.

8. Getting something in your eye with your contacts in, and not being able to fix it ALL DAY.

9. Peripheral vision? What's that like?

10. You laugh in the face of those with a correction lower than -3.00.

11. Having to touch your eyeballs every day is a small horror you've come to just accept.

12. Any TV show or movie in which a character takes off his or her glasses mid-scene is instantly ruined.

13. "How do I find my glasses without my glasses on?" = the inception of those with bad vision.

14. Before you got glasses for the first time, you didn't know you could see individual blades of grass, or leaves.

15. If you didn't wear your contacts today, 3D movies are not happening.

16. DMV eyesight tests give you heart palpitations and sweaty palms.

17. Like you needed THIS set of nightmares to deal with as a child.

18. You've got a drawer full of your middle school frames "in case you ever need them."

19. You, as a True Glasses Wearer, know that the idea that glasses bestow sensitivity and superhuman intelligence upon the wearer are, sadly, false.

20. The decision to swim (or not to swim) is fraught with danger.

21. You know it's only going to keep getting worse and worse.

22. That being said, in the meantime, sometimes glasses give you superpowers.
