Your eyes are not semi-useless; they are able to give you a unique vision of the world, soft-edged and different, unimaginable to those who don't need glasses.

On weekend mornings, when I was a kid, I used to lay in bed for a long time after I'd woken up, and look at things without my glasses on. I'd play games with my eyes, holding up my fingers close to my face and flicking them in and out of focus. It was pretty fun.

And your glasses look nice, as if you'd always had them, but didn't wear them much.
