What it’s Like to Need Glasses

HI GUYS!

I hope you’re all doing well. The other day I was thinking about the fact of wearing glasses and all that comes with it. And I thought: If I got money every time someone asked me how badly I see, I’d be rich.

I’ve been wearing glasses for 10 years now and I’m more than used to them. 🤓 But there’s people who haven’t worn glasses in their entire life and who wonder what’s it like to wear them. And I’m like, I know something you don’t? Lemme just tell you it feels to not see the world 100% clearly. Just to make it clear, I’m not going to talk about the fact of wearing glasses and its pros and cons, I’m gonna talk about eyesight. 👁

I think I should’ve started there. Without further ado, let’s begin:

I don’t remember very well when I started wearing glasses or how it happened, cause I was only 4 – but my mum told me that my pediatrician told me I would go check my eyesight, don’t know the reason either. And yeah, I started wearing glasses.

Before wearing glasses, I kind of didn’t know why other people would wear them, I thought they just didn’t see at all and putting on a pair of glasses would solve the problem. And apparently, that’s the same my friends thought, they often asked me: Hey Anna, do you see just black without your glasses? I was like: No, I see everything. They also would take off my glasses and try to make me go crazy, but I could see. 👀 Suckaaaas!!! 😂😂😛

When I was about 5, I realized you didn’t have to be a blindie to wear glasses, I could see everything, but slightly blurred. With time, my vision got a little worse and now I see kinda like this:

This is how I see with my glasses, everything clear, right?

And this is how I see without them. Looks pretty much the same – but hey, try to read all those blurred words!!

Yeah, blurred images is what people see. There’s people who wear glasses that can’t see a thing without their glasses, I’m glad I don’t have such bad eyesight, cause I’m already pretty clumsy and losing my glasses would be awful. 😱 😱

I’ve always thought my eyesight is pretty good. Everything’s slightly blurred, but I know what I’m seeing, just not very detailed. I can see better the things that are closer to me, but I can’t see what’s farther. People, whiteboards and blackboards (same struggle), anything that’s more than 1 and half meters away from me. Although I also need glasses to read texts on my desk, not that I can’t see it, but it’s harder and my head begins to hurt. 😭

If you take off my glasses in class and I’m trying to copy or read something from the board, I would be unable to see words. With whiteboards, I can only distinguish black or blue markers, I can’t read them, but I can see the colors. I can barely see green markers, but I can’t see red markers at all – I could think it’s clean. With blackboards, it doesn’t matter the color cause I would see nothing anyway. 😂

In few words, every time I’m gonna use my eyes, I have to wear glasses, aka, always! I’m always whether on the computer, on my phone, watching videos or movies, doing homework, studying… I need them all the time.

Thank god glasses exist! I get really happy every time I put on my glasses cause it’s like: Now I can see!! 🙏🙏

I not always couldn’t see from far, actually that started about 4 years ago, when I was 10. My doctor says eyesight changes with time and also if you’re still growing.

What’s also funny is when you and the friends that wear glasses swap our glasses just to try and y’all end up dizzed. One of my friends needs glasses just to see by far and I have teachers that wear glasses just when they have to see closer things. It’s kinda weird. 😂

I think that’s all I have to say about it, I hope it has taught you something. Do you wear glasses? If yes, for how long have you been wearing them? Tell me! My eyes wanna know about yours? Do you like wearing glasses? Tell me!

I hope you guys liked this post as much as I liked writing it for you! I like wearing glasses and it’s not that I like to need them, I like wearing them! Anyways, I hope y’all have a great day!

BYE GUYS!
