5 Reasons Why It's Great To Wear Glasses (Even Though They're A Total Pain In The Butt)

We all know just how much of a pain it is to wear them, but you have to admit, they aren't that bad...

If you are part of the four-eyes club, you know that it can be a total pain in the butt to wear your glasses. They fog up, they slide down your nose, and let's not forget the how awful it is when you get mascara on the lenses!

Even though they can be a pain, they do have their perks (apart from the whole helping you see thing, duh)

1. They make you look, like, smart

No matter how stupid you think you look, once you pop on those glasses, suddenly you're the Scarecrow from the Wizard of Oz and you've just received your brain. Everyone thinks you're brilliant, and you know what? You totally are.

2. Camouflage

Have a big zit on your face? Slap on those glasses, and no one will notice you've got the planet Mars growing on your chin. Helpful tip: the bigger the glasses the better.

3. They sort of double as safety goggles

Two words: flying shrapnel. So you're walking down the street just minding your own business, maybe drinking a nice, over-priced latte (non-fat soy) when suddenly... BAM! Someone on a bike just drove through a giant puddle and splashes a tub-sized amount of dirt and gross city water into your face! Had you not been wearing your glasses, you could have been blinded by the piece of glass that flew up and hit you in the face. Your glasses just saved your life! Okay, so maybe that's a little far-fetched, but you do at least have your very own, mildly effective safety goggles. Perfect for windy days and clipping your toe nails!

4. They're the perfect excuse for ignorance

When you wear your glasses regularly, you can use the "oh my gosh, I wasn't wearing my glasses, I'm so sorry!" excuse when you blatantly ignore someone you don't particularly like who was waving to you from across the street (and then proceeded to chase you down to say hi).

5. You save more money so you can buy other stuff

Think of how much money is costs to get lasik! Even contacts can cost an arm and a leg! Save your money, wear glasses, and buy pizza. You can thank me later.

We all know just how hard it is to wear them, but you have to admit, they aren't that bad. And for the mornings when you're really not feeling like being a four-eyes, imagine yourself looking something like this:
