For all you people with perfect 20/20 vision, you’re lucky, because wearing glasses isn’t fun, and for those of us who do… well, the everyday problems accumulating masses of jokes about glasses is just too real.
Day-in-day-out, we experience the battle of having to swap them with sunglasses and not being able to see in sunny weather. When we enter a warm room, our lenses steam up, and we can’t see. Oh, and that also happens when we have a hot drink. Then there’s making out with another person who wears glasses (see, the clash of the arms and the lenses), and you haven’t experienced true horror until you wake up, and can’t find your glasses because they’ve fallen down the side of your bed. You can’t see them, because you have all the visual capacity of a bat. These might seem like funny problems to some, but the struggle is very real.
To highlight the plight of the bespectacled, Bored Panda has found some of the funniest glasses jokes and the most relatable memes that show the struggles of wearing goggles.
Having eye problems does not mean we have problems understanding these funny jokes. And remember that wearing a pair can make you at least 10 percent smarter. We can take comfort in that… right?

If children in my class see me without glasses, invariably the comment is "Miss S. your eyes!" I am not sure what this means.

The best way to clean the glasses is to wash them with soap and then dry and clean them with clean tissue or toilet paper.
Wearing Glasses For The First Time
They're Always There
lol I've done that, even reached to take them off, and then I look around to make sure no one just saw me reach for glasses that weren't there
The Problem With Selfies
I HATE glass glare. I mean, we people with glasses already have problems, why can't we at least not have selfie problems

Didn't he do that with just one hand IN FRONT of his eye? I could be wrong, it's been YEARS.

I do #2 when I see someone I don't like and want to subtly give them the finger
Number 6 is the I have wet nail polish & my glasses are slipping maneuver.
1, 4 for me. #2 seems stupid, then you get smudges all over your glasses.
I think it's meant to demonstrate just the one finger being used to push the glasses up by the bridge - although it's badly drawn and looks like other fingers are touching the lenses. If you have a dog like mine it's all pointless anyway - he keeps bashing my glasses and now everything looks just slightly wonky.

im constantly doing two as they always slip a little. make me look like im going ful nerd. that or i have hatched an evil plan :P
Daria B mentioned it in her comment. :P One Piece anyone?
Load More Replies... Is number 6 for when you are cooking and your fingers are covered in something?
Number 2, but six when I'm wearing gloves and doing something aseptic
I saw this and tried to push up my glasses that I’m not even wearing. xD
Number four number four everyday oh my god
I go for the huge glasses and squishing my face up technique, hands free.
This reminds me of a joke... Why does it take men with glasses twice as long to masturbate? (You can work out the punchline from the picture)!
When you're talking to someone you dislike, always try to push up your glasses with your middle finger :)
No. 6, is for when I'm baking. The rest of the time I'm more No. 7, constantly and discretely flipping everyone off with the middle finger :)
Actually I've done all of them except number six. WTH is #6 doing?
2. One time I accidentally left my glasses at home while I was at school, and pushing my glasses with my index finger is a habit of mine, so I'll be walking down the hall pushing the space in-between my eyes looking like a weirdo haha
I did that when I first started wearing contacts…feels really stupid :)

2 when I'm wearing my glasses and 2 when I'm wearing contacts.... just because I forget 😂
6 is when you're hands are dirty but you still need to push up your glasses. Like when you're making meatloaf or painting.
#6 is The Pale Man from Pan’s Labyrinth. He now has glasses and feels awkward about what to do with his hands.
Nerds vs. Fashionistas
The horrible black-rimmed plastic glasses that I wore from the age of 7 contributed to my introverted nature because everyone laughed at me wearing them, everyone said they were ugly. And now they're FASHIONABLE? Modern world, I will not forgive you for this!
Glasses Problems
Forever Squinting
I have prescription sunglasses but it's a pain changing back and forth... And feels rude if I leave the normal ones in the car by mistake!

I wish shampoos and conditioner came in bottles sufficiently different enough that I could tell them apart. Some days I condition and then
*WARNING* NOT FOR THE SQUEAMISH ! I'm surprised that no one mentioned the petri dish that is our glasses' nose pads. After a couple of years, we could probably grow a miniature eco-system on there. (Sorry. I DID warn you.)
The worst thing that happened was that the wind blew my glasses into the road just as I was about to cross. Without my glasses on I couldn't look for my glasses! Definitely not a good idea to crawl into the middle of the road, patting the ground to look for them. And when the lights changed again and the traffic continued, they were gone forever. Luckily I was within walking distance of home, but since then I've always kept a spare pair in my car. If you've driven somewhere and you lose them, you will be in BIG trouble!
I know the feeling of forgetting new prescription glasses at home, after you have been told that you MUST wear them for night time driving. All I could see were blurry traffic and street lights and extremely blindingly bright car lights. I have astigmatism, so I'm basically screwed without glasses at night.
Load More Replies... I remember when I came home from getting my first glasses.My sisters were watching aladin kept on lifting them up and putting them down .It really was a whole New world.
One time in class this girl took my glasses off my face and straight up broke them in half. The teacher told me to sit back down and stop disrupting the class. They were Silhouette glasses, the bendy ones. Gold. She did not pay for them to be replaced.
Shoulda went straight to the principal for that had the school call the parents....thats Bs

Getting up in the middle of the night to pee, don't put glasses on, stepped on a big bug that smelled bad. Another time saw what I thought was a penny on the floor bent down to pick it up, penny turned into a spider that ran toward me at a high rate of speed. I now put my glasses on before me feet hit the floor no matter what.
I can relate to this post so much! Except for the statement "you're looking better without glasses". I'm going to get married in few months and I consider wearing contacts but my family and friends told me not to. They say that my glasses are so inseparable part of me and I look beautiful regardless.
This reminds me that google is coming out with google lens or something it's glasses with access to the internet, they don't have them in prescriptions. This s**t
When you open the hot oven and suddenly your glasses get all fogged up! When I am searching for my glasses and getting pissed because I can't find them and then realize they are on my head, I just kinda don't notice them anymore. And on the bright side, choosing pretty frame for new glasses that you would just looove and have to love for next several years.
The dirty glasses thing: I've been wearing glasses all day every day since I was seven, so that misty, slightly blurry haze is just something which is part of my vision now. I only clean them when it's got to the 'this is ridiculous' stage because otherwise I'd be doing it all day. My partner, on the other hand, has just started to wear glasses, and every tiny little speck of dirt, every teeny smudge is met with horror and she has to clean, clean, clean! And looking it mine, she says "How can you even see out of those?!" I always clean them before a movie though - you do need HD vision for an HD TV! :o)
ohh dirty glasses...everytime you dear friends hug u they always leave one big oily face print on them...or when kissing...ahhhhahfivrwvrbeivevg
