10 things you’ll just GET if you wear glasses

Growing up wearing glasses seems to be a mixed bag for most. A combination of swings and roundabouts, where you’re being teased with names like ‘four-eyes’ one minute and hailed as an absolute genius (thanks to your specs) the next.

Today, the hashtag #GrowingUpWithGlasses is trending on Twitter, as those with a life-long affinity with Specsavers and the like are taking to the social network to reminisce about their shared experiences.
