He originally posted it on TikTok and it went viral because, well, have a watch for yourself.

-6.00 looks familiar.
I remember getting my first pair of glasses at age twelve and marvelling at the individual leaves on the trees.

Yes! -6 myself, I can vouch for the accuracy of this. Was 6 years old when I first got glasses, I’ve never forgotten the wonder of the world suddenly coming into focus! Till then no one believed me when I said I couldn’t see the blackboard, the teachers thought I was being lazy.

Mine are both around a -7, I forget exactly, but I literally can't see my glasses when I drop them, it's GARBAGE. pic.twitter.com/jKca5Ezgnb

What you gotta do is grab your phone and open the camera. Then, hold the phone close enough to see through, and use it to look for your glasses 👍🏻👍🏻 That -7 life!
