I agree with this. I’ve been told “just wear your glasses” when I’ve said I cannot go somewhere. The logic being, if Contacts correct your vision, glasses should do the same – just in a different format.

Then I can’t see. The worst thing is my friends and family can get irritated with me because I mention that I will leave early or can’t go, I don’t think they understand that I’m not completely blind or disabled but the second the lenses need to come out then I can’t see(see detail; .people’s facial expressions etc)/Can’t join in/Have to go home, and when I do socialise after my lenses are taken out. I get “not got your lenses in? hahaha” because I have my mobile phone right upto my nose. etc etc.
