I've worn glasses since I was 10 and they're as thick as a hotdog is wide. Welcome to the nerd club, op.

Same. I’d shake your hand but everything past my nose is a blur.

It’s when your mind’s eye begins opening to its full potential

I want to get lasik because I think glasses and contacts will be hard to come by after the collapse of civilization and I don't want to be easy pickins for the harriers

My wife has used this exact argument to try to get me to get lasik.

I have an astigmatism in my left eye as well as a corneal abrasion from an accident a long time ago that still causes issues (contacts actually protected my eye so I only got an abrasion rather than a full on slice), in addition to my aforementioned extreme myopia. I’ve been to lasik consultations and even with lasik I’d still likely need glasses and there would be a pretty high likelihood of halo-ing from the astigmatism and they had no idea if the injury would affect the outcome.

I'm 51 years old and still get carded. It's the stupid policy of "Card anyone that looks younger than 40" combined with clerks that are barely old enough to sell alcohol.
Was carded at the grocery store just a few days ago.

I take it as a compliment I guess.

The POS system at the lot of grocery stores requires a DOB entry when it scans a restricted item so you’re getting carded whether you’re 18 or 99.
