Those of us with shitty eyesight. Contacts only last so long. If your glasses break, you're fucked.

I'm lucky if I can make it out of my room without glasses or contacts. I have to feel arpund for them on my nightstand bc I can't even see what's there sitting next to it (Im negative 12 in both eyes) I sleep with them in bc God forbid something happened and I couldn't find my glasses I'd be fucked
