    most people do not generally wear glasses

    I don’t know about other countries but about two thirds of Americans wear glasses. A good number of them will be older adults with age-related long-sightedness for which they may only wear reading glasses, but this is a basic mistake.

      There are also plenty of people who wear glasses who don’t need them. It’s weird to act like Plano lenses don’t exist.
