People will come to work and say "oh sorry, I can't read that since I'm not wearing my glasses" and I'm like "why would you go anywhere without glasses if you need glasses?" I just don't understand it.

actually, they do bring glasses with them all the time, they just straight up refuse to wear them

Keep in mind that depending on the type of eye issue they may not need them all the time. In this example the person only needs then to read and it might actually make their vision worse to wear them when not.

the thing is, even when they need to read something, they just squint their eyes and whine about how they can't see without glasses then ask others to read it for them instead of idk, PUTTING ON THE DAMN GLASSES that are RIGHT ON THE FUCKING TABLE. Why did you think I said they REFUSE to wear glasses?

[–] GreenMario@lemm.ee 20 points 1 year ago

It's because they want YOU to read it for em.

As someone who suffers from migraines, allodynia, and chronic pain, wearing glasses all the time isn't an option.

During the mandated mask times, I didn't wear mine because they would fog up while wearing a mask.

Because I forgot them.

I usually don't need any glasses unless something is more than 1m away from me. They're uncomfortable laying down so I usually don't wear them at home

They’re uncomfortable laying down so I usually don’t wear them at home

Is the only thing you do at home is lay in bed? I do plenty of stuff at home that requires me to have my glasses on all day.

I put them on in the morning and take them off before bed.

No, but I don't really need to wear them inside since most of the time I don't look at something far away enough to bother wearing glasses, because they get dirty fast and it can be hard to clean them sometimes.

It's not that bad for me since I only need -0,75dpt and -1,00dpt

Fucking hell, you're near-sighted and you don't wear them because they get dirty? Do you walk around naked?

[–] newIdentity@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I only have two pairs of glasses.

I have more clothes and I can simply change them when they get dirty.

Also it's not really a major annoyance when they get a little dirty unlike it's the case with glasses.

Might come as a shock, but different eyeballs need glasses at different times.

I am "legally blind" but my glasses are pointless inside the house. My vision is just fine for anything that isnt outdoors.

Meanwhile my father cant drive with his glasses, but needs them to read.
