What I'm saying is that in some restrictive societies glasses may be off limits for your character. In some Fahrenheit settings you may just not be allowed to operate vehicles or machines if your vision is that bad.

Another setting might be a eugenics based society where to have glasses shows you are genetically inferior and should be killed or put into the ghettos for inferior people.
