Do you wear glasses?
Or know someone who does?
Congratulations, you know someone who requires medical aid to see the world in the same way as the majority of the population!
Now, as a glasses wearer, you probably get asked what it’s like to live without them.
They want to know what it’s like.
“Can you see without these?”
“Can you get through the day without relying on them?”
And the answer is maybe? I guess? I could close one eye and squint real hard and hope I don’t walk into something or miss a detail or make a mistake.
But even if I avoid these issues, it hurts my head
and people look at me funny and
so… no? I don’t think so?
Why would I avoid this certified, professionally supplied solution that lets me get by in my own way?
And people laugh and shake their heads and say they understand and how weird it’d be to make people who need glasses to get by to not wear glasses.
So my question is this – is there a way to make it clear to the world that this is also the same with professionally supervised therapy and medication?
After all, these too change how you see the world.
