I wear glasses full time, should i be classed as disabled?

So people with allergies or sensitivity to food should be considered disabled, as well as women who have irregular minstruation, people with teeth growing the wrong way, or even people who snore... Well basically over 99% of the population...

"Disabled: (of a person) having a physical or mental condition that limits their movements, senses, or activities."

"Disabled: (of a person) having a physical or mental condition that limits their movements, senses, or activities."

If you have allergies to berries it limits you in eatting berries which is an activity.
If you snore it limits you breathing well when you sleep.....

This might be my first thread to get to 100 replies. Ka-chingggg!

Get back to me when you have a post with 100 reps

Not many, certainly not as many as today. For example, we know there has been a sharp increase in the prevalence of myopia (near sightedness) in recent years. This is due to eye strain, especially because of screens and time spent indoors.

I'm sure this is definitely a factor. I've worn glasses full time for the last 8 or 9 years, my younger sister got glasses for reading, computer use etc about 2 years ago & recently started wearing them all the time. Neither of our parents wear glasses so I'm sure it's not genetic. I'm convinced we've ruined our eyesight by spending too much time looking at screens.

However, you are able to live a perfectly normal life whilst wearing glasses.

"whilst wearing glasses". I've put this in as simple terms as possible and you still seem to be missing the point.

Does bad sight limit a sense? Whether it can be fixed or not is irrelevant, it's a simple yes/no question.

You wouldn't be covered under the Equalities Act. It even says that.

I've said this multiple times and you don't seem to be able to grasp it. I'm not sure if you're just desperate to cling to the idea you're special because you're disabled or what, but irregardless of whether you get any special treatment from society or the government because of it, having one of your senses naturally impaired is a disability. You're mixing up the definition of disability with what the government deems in need of help.

You're the one expecting special treatment. If they can be corrected by glasses, they're not impaired. it's actually an insult to suggest otherwise. But what would I know. I'm only slowly losing my vision.

Most people I know would find it insulting to be classed as disabled just because they wear glasses. After all, they do lead a normal life.
