i am blind in a way that i see every thing as merged forms so i have a device clipped onto my glasses that allows me to see things in the thermal spectrum
I don't need to wear them all the time though, only when reading, watching tv or when I was in class. Occasionally I'll put them on when going into a coffee shop or something where the menu is up above the counter.
haven't worn them since 1st grade and that's because the school bully kept breaking them so we gave up on the glasses so I don't wear glasses or contacts now I want to get a pair of sunglasses since my vision problems are caused by having to strain my eyes in the hot west Texas sun so I can see where I'm going when I'm out working
I prefer them over contacts, I like that my transitional lenses change to sunglasses without worrying about carrying a pair of sunglasses with me, I also like that no matter what environment Im in, my glasses react the same where as when I wore contacts my eyes would get irritated if I was exposed to a lot of pollen, dust or even some makeups.
Men, on the other hand, have to be much older to wear glasses and get away with it.
I'm getting a new pair this week tho
