Are you prohibited from wearing glasses at work?

@JaggedLittlePill Uh... there are (or at least have been) several jobs that did that, particularly in Asian countries. And yes, you're talking about goggles, but some places don't want you to have anything that could fall off, similar to jewelry. And the wheelchair isn't really analogous because most people with glasses can just wear contacts instead.

@matttheman13 uh. Those jobs could get in serious trouble for that. Glasses are needed for sight. It's illegal to tell an employee they can't wear their glasses. Sorry charlie... I think you are pulling ideas from your ass.

@matttheman13 safety goggles can and have been worn over glasses. I know I WEAR GLASSES.

@matttheman13 It is entirely comparable. Having less than perfect eyesight is a disability. Are you fucking really this dumb?

@matttheman13 actually no. Most people cannot "just wear contacts anyway"

And I am totally done with this conversation because it is clear I am talking to someone without a brain. Bye!

@JaggedLittlePill It's illegal in many (though not all) cases in the US. Not so much in other countries. I've read about Asian airlines getting criticism for doing that and stopping recently, though it was never something they were prohibited by law from doing. I also have friends in South Korea who have strict appearance requirements for work (some work for plastic surgery companies so it at least kinda makes sense) which sometimes include eyewear restrictions. And even in the US, I've read that it is legal to have that kind of limit if it affects the job; modeling is probably the best example but it's also sometimes applied to any work where interacting with people is a big part.
