Fucking hell, you're near-sighted and you don't wear them because they get dirty? Do you walk around naked?
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.
I have to wear glasses to see. I have my pair of safety glasses for work, and I have my everyday pair. You know what I do when they get dirty? I take the minute to clean them and then put them back on my face, so I can see.
Your argument of "they get dirty easy so I'll just not wear them" is a foreign concept. And "I only have 2 pair" is usually 1 more pair than the average person has.
But you still see better with dirty glasses than with none at all. For you it's a major annoyance not wearing your glasses even when they get dirty.
For me it's the exact opposite. I can see fine without glasses as long as I'm indoors and don't have to read anything more than 1m away from me. Which usually isn't the case unless I'm watching TV, which I rarely do.
I also don't usually have a microfiber fabric on me (lost it somewhere) and when I use my t-shirt it only gets worse. So I have to go to the bathroom multiple times a day to clean them with water and soap and hope I don't accidentally touch it again when trying to readjust it or while rubbing my eye.
It's also not that I don't wear them at all. I do, but only when they're clean or when I go outside.
Yeah also I agree that having two pairs isn't normal. I only have two pairs because I though I lost one so I ordered a new pair and one day before picking them up, I found my old pair.
