DONT use glasses, youll become dependent on them to see!!!! #WARONDRUGS #OVERPRESCRIPTION #CORRECTIVELENSADDICTION
I know this is a humorous exaggeration designed to show how silly it is to deny medication and mobility/quality of life aids to disabled people by applying the argument to something silly in a way that nobody would ever do but… unfortunately I have heard people say this. I’ve heard people suggest that people with minor sight problems shouldn’t get glasses, and people needing to move to a stronger prescription should do it and should stay on as light a prescription as they can use and still function, because the glasses will “weaken their eyes” and make their eyesight worse (which is bullshit). People will pull this ableist bullshit on glasses wearers, too.
