Today, I went to the eye doctor. For the past three days every time I wear my glasses I become nauseous, get migraines, and have that "fish-eye view" where everything is rounded. Turns out they placed my lenses on the wrong sides. FML

Today, I went to the eye doctor. He tells me that I've developed a severe allergy to contact lenses and must stop wearing them immediately. It wouldn't be so bad if I hadn't just visited him a week earlier, paid for a new prescription and ordered a year's worth of brand new lenses. FML
Today, I woke up thinking after wearing glasses and contacts all my life that I had miraculously been corrected to 20/20. Turns out I had just fallen asleep with my contacts in. FML
Today, I wore a pair of glasses with no lenses because I thought I'd look smarter. I ended up poking myself in the eye several times, leaving it swollen. So much for making me look smarter. FML
Today, after buying a new pair of prescription glasses, I went to the beach. The ocean now has a new pair of glasses. FML
Today, I broke my glasses. My eyesight is horrible, I can’t see things that aren’t super close to my face. I'm supposed to drive to another state tomorrow. FML
Today, I woke up, and I could see perfectly. Somehow, during the night, my eyes magically became 20/20. I was overjoyed, until I realized I'd fallen asleep with my glasses on. My eyes are still trash, and I want to cry. FML
Today, I noticed that the glasses I got this week seemed off balance. A further inspection showed that one of my ears is bigger than the other. Through even further inspection, my family concluded that the entire right side of my body is higher than my left. FML
Today, I went for my first eye test ever. Turns out I have astigmatism and need glasses. This is already on top of me already having a hearing aid, having hypertension of my joints, autism, and endometriosis. FML
Today, I spent almost 10 minutes cleaning my glasses because everything looked blurry. The problem wasn't my glasses. I was actually wearing my sister's, who apparently got almost the same frames as mine. FML
Today, while I was normally and gently cleaning my glasses with my shirt they snapped in half. This is the second time this has happened, with the exact same glasses. The optometrist got me another pair last time, but this time they said no because it was too suspicious. I now have to buy $150 glasses again. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I'm glad you were a good pupil and saw the problem. At least you had a good sense of vitreous humour about it and didn't lash out at the optometrist or browbeat him. To celebrate, go to McDonald's and get a Big Macula and freyes. *posted from my iPhone with retina display*

You didn't put them on when you first picked them up? I thought that was standard procedure.

Eye see what you did there. Reading it was a real eye opener for me. Somebody should put a lid in the eye puns before they become an eyesore. Wink.

Just reread the fml and realized op was referring to the lenses on her glasses and not the lenses in her eyes. My bad. How do you not notice backwards lenses in your glasses...

I think she means they switched right and left

Wow...glad you got it fixed. Wearing glasses is no fun to begin with. My vision is pretty poor and I hate wearing glasses. I've tried contacts but that didn't really work either. :/

I wore glasses and contacts until about 4yrs ago. I had the PRK surgery and went from legally blind to 20/15 vision which is perfect vision. I'd highly recommend prk or lasik eye surgery. There are payment plans for it if you don't the money up front.

Some people are unable to get LASIK or PRK. Like me. Of course, I think I would notice immediately that my lenses were in the glasses backwards.

This is bizarre. How could you go to the ophthalmologist, get new glasses, then whenever you put them on, can't see, get a headache and want to hurl, but not make the connection for THREE DAYS?!! I'd hate to see your learning curve for hot stoves and electric power points.

"Ooh, that glowing red stove is so pretty! I must touch it! Ow! It hurts! Maybe I'll touch it again. Ow, it still hurts! Shit, why is my hand hurting whenever I touch it? Ow! Ok stove, one more chance..."

I want the option sh%$ happens. You don't deserve it but your life doesn't suck. A little of comparison your glasses are +2 at worst? I'm +16 Stop bit$%ing should be another option.

Why so rude? Other people can have a bad eyesight too. I've got -4,25 and I would get migrane and see nothing too when I don't have my contacts in or glasses on. If your eyesight is that bad, I feel sorry for you, perhaps it's treatable. I know in my country you get a free operation when your eyesight goes below -13/+13. Anyway don't be a dick, even when your eyesight is a lot worse.

if stop bitching really was an option, you need to look into it. OP didn't say what their eyesight was, it could be worse than yours, so stop whining yourself you effing hypocrite. Try to submit your own fml; "my eyesight sucks worse than anyone elses! fmylife more!" see if it gets published.
