Sad to hear this.

Glasses are actually cool. Being a nerd is also cool.

Don't let him think otherwise.

Source: have been wearing glasses for my myopia & astigmatism since middle school, am a nerd and am cool. ;)

Nice, now you and my mom think I’m cool!

2 people down, nearly 8 billion to go.

But seriously I agree, glasses are amazing. We shouldn’t look at it like we have to wear them; it’s amazing that we get to at all. They’re a marvel. It’s not always great to wear something on your face, but it’s a small price to pay for what they make possible.

You are cool. That's 3 of us.

I’ve been wearing glasses since I was 8. They’re not cool and never will be.

They're not particularly cool, but they do tend to have at least one positive stereotype (that someone is learned), which is more than can be said for most assistive devices.

You wouldn't have been cool in my school.

Being pretend nerdy is cool among Gen Z now.
