It seems like today everybody wears glasses. Its not a big deal but a normal thing.

But my parents have a cow when I wear my glasses, instead of contacts and accuse me of wearing glasses for fashion, not because I need them. They are always pushing me to get laser surgery so I need neither glasses, nor contacts.

I want to ask you guys is it a big deal to wear glasses? Do all Indian parents act like this? and how do I make my parents stop?

some use glasses because of short sight or any other problems with their eyes. but now a days, everyone, lets say most of the people wear glasses as its fashion or trend now. so ur parents can't be blamed, they might think u r keeping it for fashion too.
i have heard that if u use glasses and contacts alternatively there is a chnce of ur power increasing or something like if u wear glasses also ur power will increase 😕 something like that, not sure. so they might want you to get laser surgery to avoid this 😊

Well,yes glasses have become a big deal these days 😆Everywhere you go,it seems that everyone is wearing glasses 😕Glasses aren't a bad thing...in fact,some people who actually need them are embarrasses to put them on>because they think that people will call them a four-eyed freak 😡

But,if you do not want to wear contacts,then don't wear them....>wear what you feel more comfortable in 😊If wearing glasses helps you see,then who says you did anything wrong,right? 😉And,since they've become more of a fashion statement,you'll also be in fashion 😎

As for your parents 🤔...you might want to explain to them why glasses makes you the unique person that you are.Tell them that your glasses help you see better and most proabably without them you would most likely be blind,right😭?And,if you wear contacts more often and never clean them,chances are you might get an eye infection Chances are that if you tell your parents the consequences of contacts,they'll understand your needs 😊

my mom says I look like a doctor and start going on about why I don't want to become a doctor and what not. If I make her be queit about that she says that I am just wearing glasses for fashion, and to go put on my contacts.

i wear glasses..not all the time but for like when i watch tv n stuff so when i got them my parents were like "u watch too much tv ...or u spend hours on comp ..no more comp 4 u " lolz they dont like glasses..they think i m too young to get glasses but heck i m 15 its normal to hav glasses..almost everone does lolz
tell ur parents that world without glasses is blurry and u dont like being blind ...glasses r necessary and not for fashion!i am sure thye will understand!

what i have noticed after wearing glasses is tht it just makes ur eye sight worse like without glasses i could still see far off stuff but now its a little worse then b4 maybe cuz like ur eyes gets soo used to glasses tht they cant manage without them or something?lolz i dunno but thats what i have realised...so now i try to kindof avoid glasses.i cant wait to get my contact lences!
