I mean, people who need glasses aren’t necessary disabled. Like if a person is just a bit nearsighted or farsighted and prescription glasses completely correct their vision, they’re not disabled. They have to have certain visual conditions or have visual impairment of a certain severity or type to be considered disabled. I’m nearsighted but that by no means would make me disabled if I wasn’t clinically depressed and didn’t have OCD and repetitive stress injury.

Of course, I don’t know you or your situation, and I can’t say whether you have visual disability or not (from your phrasing it sounds like you don’t, though). And I don’t know the exact severity of near-sightedness that would be considered disabling, but it would probably have to actually impair your ability to do daily tasks, school work, occupational work, and/or driving, etc even with the proper corrective lenses. I have plenty of friends and family who wear glasses who don’t consider themselves disabled and aren’t treated as disabled people in our society.

Now, in college I had a friend with a visual impairment that glasses could not correct and that made it so she couldn’t process text normally no matter what because her eyes couldn’t focus on text in a certain way and she got disability accommodations at our school. She also wore special tinted glasses that helped her focus, but even with those, processing texts was challenging. That’s an example of a visual impairment that would count as a disability.
