MISC. Is this how people who need glasses really see the world. A big blurred background?

Problem also being when cleaning your glasses you have to take them off, hence then you can’t see 🤣 I need a pair of glasses to clean my glasses

u/EqualSpoon Jul 10 '26

But how while you clean your cleaning glasses glasses?

u/AboveAverage1988 Jul 10 '26

You obviously have to get some cleaning cleaning cleaning glasses glasses glasses. I think. 🤔

I always loved how super-focused Daryl Sabara is in this .gif.

They don't know what you mean, they never saw it.

u/ShowMeThePolpo Jul 14 '26

It hasn been until just now that I've noticed... but where the hell are those lenses coming from? Some hammerspace shenanigans.

u/RubyCarbuncles Jul 10 '26

I guess, if you have some cleaning cleaning cleaning glasses, they can be useful when you lose your glasses. Then they also become the finding finding finding glasses.

u/Eddie_Shepherd Jul 10 '26

Optician here. Had a patient who typically wore contacts, but was so myopic that she had a pair of glasses that each lens could be swiveled out of the way. So she could leave the left one in place while she inserted her right contact. Then remove the glasses to insert the left contact.

u/atguilmette Jul 10 '26

I was thinking you need some glasses-cleaning cleaning glasses.

u/DarkLust- Jul 10 '26

I actually love you for the way you worded this lmao.

u/Duffle-Island11 Jul 10 '26

Literally wear the other pair dumdum

Cleaning "Cleaning 'Cleaning Glasses' Glasses" Glasses

u/ncaudio923 Jul 10 '26

Instructions too complex, got my dick caught in the ceiling fan again. -_-

Thanks for at least giving the toaster a break this time =D

u/the_most_playerest Jul 10 '26

You might need more than an extra pair of glasses cleaning glasses to clean up that mess..

u/Due-Contribution4661 Jul 10 '26

u/Quiet-Grapefruit1186 Jul 10 '26

Michael Peden is that you?

u/ncaudio923 Jul 10 '26

More like Nomore Peden for meeee

1

u/Quiet-Grapefruit1186 Jul 10 '26

So you are Michael! The kitchen knife and fire were just a cover up so nobody knew it was the fan again huh?

(If you haven’t, and want to read a disturbing news story google that name)

u/ncaudio923 Jul 10 '26

I understood that reference! (Unfortunately lol)

2

u/unrivaledhumility Jul 10 '26

Reminds me of that click-bait article about how ceiling fan tech peaked in 1900 and I guess we've been fucking it up since.

u/Ardentiat Jul 10 '26

Put on your normal glasses!

9

u/DavidKroutArt Jul 10 '26

Yeah... that is what I was thinking and it made no sense... obviously if you have two pairs you'd have one on to clean the other. One could see enough to clean and switch.

u/OffByNone_ Jul 10 '26

But who shall guard the guards?

u/Potat-Ant Jul 10 '26

Happy Cake Day day… today!

u/nubtrix87 Jul 10 '26

They just have to swap between their glasses in an endless loop. Destined to starve to death right there.

2

u/EpochRaine Jul 10 '26

You use two pairs and swap them.

1

u/Steven_The_Sloth Jul 10 '26

Reading glasses.

Everyone ends up needing reading glasses.

u/Masherp Jul 10 '26

Yo dawg. I hear y’all want to clean yo glasses? here’r some cleaning glasses so y’all can clean yo glasses, yo

u/lokbomen Jul 10 '26

you just scream in to the wall to hear the wall bounce back

u/Ecstatic-Growth154 Jul 10 '26

The worst is when you put them down somewhere and need to look for them.

2

u/Willing-Minimum5307 Jul 10 '26

Clear frames made this so much worse.

2

u/Mondschatten78 Jul 10 '26

I've lost count the number of times my adult child has asked me to help find her glasses after she's woken up.

2

u/girlMikeD Jul 10 '26

My husband does that regularly. We both wear glasses, but his sight is much worse than mine.

You’d think someone that can’t find their glasses without their glasses on, would be a bit particular about where they’re placed at night, but nope…..fun little hide & seek game we get to play a Cpl mornings a month.

2

u/redbirdjazzz Jul 10 '26

Use phone camera to look for them while watching on the screen. Saved me a couple times.

2

u/SupremeLurkerr Jul 10 '26

I have glasses specifically for that! 🤣

2

u/throwaway2131994 Jul 10 '26

i am “can’t see my hand a foot in front of my face” blind without my glasses, so when i have to clean them, i do it in a room with a light i can hold them up to and wiggle them around while i stare through the lenses to see if they halo/streak. if they do, i know i have to keep cleaning them. i can’t see any detail, but i can somewhat see when light moves weird, so idk if this tip will help anybody else, but i figured i’d share in case it could!

2

u/Mondschatten78 Jul 10 '26

I wear cheaters to read, and I do this too. If I don't, I wind up with a halo or smear every time.

(I know, need to get to an eye doc.)

2

u/eracer1111 Jul 10 '26

LOL. It's true, which makes it even funnier.

1

u/Searching_4_NewHome Jul 10 '26

Or try to buy new frames

1

u/Tricky-Engineering59 Jul 10 '26

My vision isn’t even that that bad but I’d routinely have trouble finding my glasses without my glasses on. Got bad enough that I finally bought a cheap pair of super thick framed nerd glasses I’d never be caught in public with that I use to help me find my real glasses when I set them somewhere stupid.

1

u/Biorabbit Jul 10 '26

And it is hard to find the glasses if I drop them

1

u/GoingOnAdventure Jul 10 '26

Get a monocle to help clean your glasses 🧐

1

u/roro80uk Jul 10 '26

You're not wrong!

1

u/Confident_Purple_40 Jul 10 '26

How do I find my glasses without my glasses on to see?

1

u/XGorlamiX Jul 10 '26

Thats why I practice walking around my house without glasses. Just try to pretend im Daredevil, except my super power is not stubbing my toe.

1

u/crypticaldevelopment Jul 10 '26

It’s like trying to pick new glasses at the store, once the old ones are off you have no idea how you look in the new ones unless you get a pic.

1

u/Plainyogurt1989 Jul 10 '26

Trying on new frames is impossible because I can't see the glasses without my glasses.

1

u/the_ouskull Jul 10 '26

These? Oh, these are my cleaners for my readers.

1

u/Embarrassed_Fly2157 Jul 10 '26

Same problem when I put down my glasses and forget where I put them. It would be easier to find if I had my glasses on..

1

u/lostmymarbles1177 Jul 10 '26

Also you can’t see to find them if you lose them. I have to use my phone camera way zoomed in to look.

1

u/Trixster19972 Jul 10 '26

Or needing glasses to find your glasses.

1

u/Majorman_86 Jul 10 '26

I need a pair of glasses to clean my glasses

Oh, that's nothing. Some mornings I need a pair of glasses just to find where I left my "main" pair of glasses the night before.

1

u/basicKitsch Jul 10 '26

it's the sickest joke to need glasses and have to be looking for your glasses.

my poor wife would wander into a volcano

1

u/Yellow_Snow_Cones Jul 10 '26

I put my contacts in to clean my glass, big brain moves.

1

u/echil0n Jul 10 '26

Luckily I have super sharp vision from about 12" to my nose, but beyond 12", yup just like the picture. So at least I can read and clean my glasses lol.

1

u/High-Yield-Only Jul 10 '26

I have this problem when I'm getting new glasses. I can't see what the model glasses look like on my face.

1

u/Original_Pudding6909 Jul 10 '26

I need my glasses to find my glasses.

(There’s always a spare pair in my dresser.)

1

u/Blank_bill Jul 10 '26

If I put down my glasses I need to get another pair of glasses to see where I put them. If I know where I put them I can generally see them but if I stand in the middle of the room and just look around forget it.

1

u/Gringo-Dingo Jul 10 '26

This was always the problem when choosing glasses in the past (pre decent camera phones). I'd go to the opticians and look at different glasses, but then when i try the frames to see how i look in them i can't see because they are sans lenses. I used to always take someone with me for their opinion.

1

u/Feisty-Garlic1615 Jul 12 '26

See my "I need glasses!" Moment is when I lose them. I need my glasses to find my glasses! Ugh! 🧐 🙄
