I started wearing glasses at age 10 and absolutely hated how I looked in them (cried for days), but wore them because I loved all of the detail they allowed me to see. Now I need reading glasses and because of vanity, tried not wearing them, but could not do it because I hated not having everything crystal clear and not being sure that I was reading something correctly or not. I would say that this correlates with my personality fairly well (I’m not an artist). I like to be in the know and have everything be clear and unambiguous.
There are plenty of other people I know who will admit to not being able to read what’s on a white board, on a sign or on a menu and it doesn’t bother them at all. They are fine with missing out. (I guess that is my bias coming through – they probably do not feel as if they are missing out!!)
