is it weird that i'm embarassed about needing glasses?!


Question: Is it weird that i'm embarassed about needing glasses?
I'm almost positive I need glasses cuz I can't read the board even from the front row and I can't see signs and stuff. But I feel like I can't tell my Mom cuz it's just too embarassing!!! Is that weird and is there either a way I can work up the courage to tell her or else a way to cope in class without being able to read the board (other than asking the person next to me to let me copy there notes, I don't want anybody to know I can't see)? I'd be fine not having glasses except school is getting really hard.

Answers:

Alot of people are scared. When I found out I first needed glasses i wanted glasses but I really hate them now and I want contacts bad cause glasses get in the way and fog up and you have limited vision, which annoying ! If you are to scared to tell your mom, when you are in the car look at a sign or something and squint and try to read it then ask her what is says. Also, if you put your fingers by the outside corner of your eyes and pull up or down or strech out you can see better, but you have to focus it in . If your eyes are too bad though it wont be all the way corrected .

no it's not weird, i was embarassed too. I was 45 when I got my first pair of glasses. I was at the rta when I was told to have my eyes tested as I could not read the bottom line. Ended up with glasses for driving. But these days there are tons of young people who need to wear glasses and they don't appear to be embarassed as there are great designer frames these days. Having glasses opens up a whole new world - believe me they are worh it



Considering that it's your first time it's not weird at all. Although there really isn't anything to be embarrassed about because its quite normal. Glasses isn't a stereotypical thing, it's a necessity to help the health of ones eyes.
