I love wearing glasses. I think they complement my face and my personality. I think glasses are great. But, they can also be a definite struggle. With the recent cold and rain, some of these struggles have come to the forefront of my mind. To those perfect-sighted people - I hope this helps you appreciate our struggle. To you fellow glasses wearers - cheers!
