TUBOB: On Cleaning Eyeglasses

I was like this with dirty eyeglasses during my entire childhood career of bespectacleism. Then, as a teenager, I was relieved of the obligation of eyeglasses by my Optometrist who told me we'd done all we could to ameliorate the laggardly right eye.  Whatever happens happened. I was free of being a "four eyes." Until around 5 years ago when I left the 30s to join the 40s where I am currently midpointing. Then it was reading glasses because even with my long apelike arms I could no longer hold reading targets far enough away from my sadly poor eyes to read. Now I wear 1.25 power reading glasses and guess what? I don't hardly even much care if they become besmudged or besmeared! Not unless they develop a grimy film that makes everything kinda gray and smeary when I try to read. Then I'll clean em/TUBOB. More here.

Question: Have you ever been called "four eyes"?
