#progressive lenses also suck for extended computer usage

Not only that, but if you need glasses, every fucking year you have to decide between "increasingly disabled as eyes change and old glasses don't work as well" or "potential COVID exposure from optometrist (who isn't masking anymore and doesn't test anymore) getting right up in your face so you can get an updated disability aid".

Also, if I lose or break my disability aid (my glasses), I can no longer legally drive. Including to go get a new disability aid. Insurance sometimes covers them, but usually not that much, and it's usually a separate insurance premium.

If civilization collapses, I won't be able to replace my disability aid because I have an astigmatism (plus I'm old enough to need bifocals), so they need to be custom made for me.

Made the mistake of bringing up that needing glasses is a disability on tiktok and people got real mad.

“You can fix it with glasses” yeah, cuz they’re a disability aid? But like, I still have to pay 160 bucks to use my own fucking eyes?

Like, by definition, if your eyes do not work without aid, you have a disability to see.

Having a disability doesn’t automatically put you in what people consider the “disabled” category, but that doesn’t change the fact that it is in fact, a disability.
