Well, just another thing I won't understand because so far I don't need glasses (yet). But I suppose at some point you get so accustomed to them you forget they are in your face.

Similar to your nose, your mind will no longer register its existence after some time until you realise it exist again.
I wear a relatively weak prescription (-1.0 in one eye and -1.5 in the other) but I cannot stand wearing glasses more than I absolutely have to. Of course, this is a general personality trait of mine: I can't wear watches for more than ten minutes at a time, I have a hard time wearing ties, and so on.
Does this actually ever happen? In personal experience it's kinda difficult to forget that it's there.(wears glasses in every waking moment and uses eyedrops irregularly)

I'm accustomed to them, and even I remember to remove them if I need eyedrops. The fact I cam see clearly is the best way to remember they're there.
I've worn glasses since... well, since forever, i guess (pre-elementary school). I had a pretty heavy prescription (something like -13, BOTH EYES) I couldn't even take a shower without my two little friends... I went to bed without taking them off, sometimes. A day they broke while it was raining cats and dogs and I was waiting at the bus stop... I still remember when I was touching the ground Velma's style trying to find them (the next day I had an important test so I needed them) and getting wet, without an umbrella, putting my hands in that dirty street water...
Welp, that's the bad memory. These othertwo are just a "full nostalgia" trip. Now I don't need them that much anymore, but I still wear them because I like glasses.

From your last sentence I assume that you have a much better eyesight now, what kind of treatment you've taken? laser eye surgery?

Yep, laser. Now I can walk and do things without glasses! (I was lucky, you can't always recover that much). I'll always rememeber the first week after the surgery as the most painful of my life and that smell of... things getting burned during the surgery. It's something you really need to think through twice or thrice and talk about it with an oculist. It's not always worth it.

I've seen how they do it, and that won't be something I'll ever be able to handle unless completely unconscious. Unfortunately, our eyes do funny things in that state...
At circa -8 both eyes I too can't forget, but at least the one time I dropped them on a rainy day I managed to find them again by contrast very quickly despite the mud, thanks to a nearby streetlight (and I always carry an older spare set that can let me at least find things)...

...I didn't realize you could use the tn block in comments, but I guess there's no reason you can't, is there? Neat.
