Glasses Problems : Life As A Four- Eyed Girl

If i have 99 problems, 20-20 vision is one…

This post was partly inspired by a conversation I had with my younger sister this morning, she was going on and on about how she needs glasses when we all know there really is nothing terribly wrong with her eyesight and partly by the success of my tall girls problems post.
I decided to go for it and share some of the problems that comes with using recommended/corrective glasses.
1. Losing my glasses is the worst

Because I need the damn glasses to look for it. Ugh

2. Been called four eyes, blindie, or ojiugo

Okay, i don’t use such word but Bunmi i see you…

3. When people go, can you see without your glasses?

YES GUYS! I’m NOT BLIND. :/

4. Then they proceed to ask how many fingers they are holding up.

Like are you being serious right now??

5. Can’t show off your eye makeup or new sunshades

Except you use contacts which is just stressful and gives the worst headaches

6. Going to see a 3D movie

and having to wear your regular glasses beneath the 3D glasses. Ehrr okay, no  movie for me then.

7. Missing out on gist (not like I’m an amebo or something)

Hey cassandra check this person’s outfit out. Oh wait lemme put on my glasses. Nvm, she’s gone. Ugh

8. Also you can’t whisper to me from across the class because I’ll need to put on my glasses first to read your lips *sigh*

9. Stereotype.

I might be smart/nerdy/geeky but not because I use glasses. OKAY??

10. The stress of picking out new frames

Especially if you’re indecisive like me! Cat eye frames? round frames? this or that colour?

11. Having to take it off and on when i want to take pictures

Off to take the picture and back on to examine the picture. Notice how I’m holding my glasses on standby in this picture from my last outfit post?

12. THE HEADACHES!! 

and having to complain about it only to be offered new glasses every time. Problem not solved!

My glasses : can’t live with them, can’t live without them

But hey! Here is one advantage : you can sleep off behind it in a boring class (if its tinted though). Not that I sleep in class or anything ._.

 If you also use glasses, what are some of the struggles you face?
Share please!!
P.S – Guys!! i’ve been shortlisted for the Fayrouz and Fashpa style challenge on instagram and i need your help to win. Please help me win by liking my picture on the @fayrouznigeria instagram page
