A shout out to all my 4-eyed brothas & sistas!
Having worn glasses since I was 2 years old, they now represent who I am and at age 27 I can say "I'm okay with that". I don't understand why these accessories have been so shunned over the years. Okay I admit that I am guilty of having tried to hide the fact that I'm optically challenged by wearing contacts and even looking into laser eye surgery; but I've now decided to embrace the fact that glasses make up the face those around me know and love. Without my glasses I am in fact "KrazEEyes", having been blessed with the oh so freaky lazy eye. It's great for doing party tricks though! See there is an upside to every handicap. I think it's time that all of us vision impaired step up and say "I'm 4-eyed and meep proud of it!"

I wish I didn't have to wear glasses, but not because of how they look. They're an absolute meep to clean and take care of. Just an extra hassle that I wish I didn't have to deal with.

Also, on the occasion where I break out into a sweat, I can't seem to keep them on my face.

Wearing glasses has saved my eyes from serious injury more times than I care to remember. The scariest save would have been when my meep head appentice left a cordless with a 1/2" spade in the chuck on top of an 8' ladder. I looked up as I was moving the ladder then the drill fell bit first in to the center of my left lens.

Wait till you get old and forget where you left your eyes (glasses) and then wander around the house in a frantic search looking for the meep things because you can not do anything without them only to realize you had put them on top of your head the whole time. Or worse yet, have to wear the granny beads and keep them on chain around your neck so you won't loose them.

I always had perfect vision. After 30 years of building, I expected my back, maybe my knees to go out. Somewhere in my mid-fourties, we got a bag from a lower grade souce in an emergency, and I noticed it was hard to see to clean the seeds out from the bud. Other formerly simple tasks began to stimie my focal skills, and when I started to train for accounting, i realized how badly I needed help to read tiny, closely packed columns of numbers. Now I can't even pick my nose without a pair of reading glasses on, and the newspaper and phonebook are completely blurred out of use for me.
The good news is that I look so fine, distinguished, and meepy in them.

I can't seem to not lose my glasses. I go through a pair every three months. I set them down or sit on them or forget them and then poof no glasses. Not a huge problem yet cause I can see fine to drive but I like to wear them to shows cause other wise I don't get the clearest picture. Have trouble seeing road signs though. If I'm driving where I am unfamiliar with the terrain I waer em. I wish I could wear those WEEZER dork rock glasses but I can't I just look weird not dorky. Like a serial killer or something. oh well.

i have a feeling i'll be joining the ranks of the four-eyed soon. i've pretty much had 20/20 vision so far, but at 40 things are starting to blur, especially up close. i thought maybe i should start smoking lots of pot through a carrot. worth a shot.
i tie lots of tiny little trout flies, and then thread the hook eyes with monofilament that is thin like spiderweb. i'm starting to do the goofy squinty head-tilty rangefinding antics that i used to laugh at my parents for doing. they were right, my time will come.
Or worse yet, have to wear the granny beads and keep them on chain around your neck so you won't loose them.
i wear my polarized shades on a strap thing, but only so they don't end up on the riverbottom.

I am sure GAYBOOB would be more than happy to show you the correct technique for carrot smoking.
