Yeah, of course you saw that, you wear glasses.
Errr… So?
Man, your eyes are so much better!
On why people wear glasses, and why people are stupid.
The use of glasses: an introduction
People have worn glasses since the Middle Ages, when they were crappy and didn’t improve your sight much (more on sight improvement later on). The glasses have been through several revolutions ever since its first incarnation, but steadily grew in the 20th century, both as a quality format to sharpen your vision of the world and as a fashion format.
One uses one’s glasses by putting them in front of one’s eyes. A requirement is the actual presence of glasses in the frame. The glasses are of a specific thickness and bend, which will allow one to have one’s sight sharpened, or more clear, or actually enhanced from the previous state, which was bad. Now, enter stupidity.
The oh–so aptly called “Sooper vision”
People around me sometimes think I have super vision — or as they say it, “Sooper Vision” — because I wear glasses. This is the kind of people that doesn’t understand the function of glasses: compensating the immense disfunct of my eyes, and especially their focus point. A conversation goes something like this:
- Me
Wow! Did you see that?
- Dumbass
- *looks puzzled*
See what?
- Me
That small flying thing. It flew right past us!
- Dumbass
I didn’t see anything.
- Me
I did!
- Dumbass
Yeah, but you wear them glasses!
- Me
- *astonished*
I’m surprised that people actually think my vision is better! I have bad lenses in my eyes, okay! Those glasses try to make up for that, it’s not that I have super vision!
You wear glasses? For the looks or for the looking? Tell me, share your anecdotes.
