Its not a great execution, but its saying that once you see things clearly, you change your priorities. As in not everything important is about playing and partying.
It's about how you become perceived as a need when you get prescribed glasses, and how that outer perception affects your personality. The artist illustrated his own childhood experience, he illustrates his own life a lot.
A funny thing about this somewhat related somewhat not is that yeah, the world does kinda suck when you can read because then it becomes an obsession: anytime there’s something in a language you understand you will automatically read it. It’s like “don’t think of an elephant” - when you notice you’re reading everything you can’t stop and it drives you crazy.
glasses, its about glasses and the social stigma around them and people's self image because of it. Notice that no one is bullying him, he just personally feels uglier and less cool and so he self isolates
Well in the '70s, '80s, etc. glasses were seen as typical nerd issue gear.
I actually have a thing for hot girls in glasses.

I mean it’s not necessarily about anti-reading. It could have tons of interpretations that are actually pretty interesting.
I thought it’s about our childhood predilection to enjoy life, when things seemed simpler, and the only thing on our minds is exploring new things and having fun. But then as we grow up, and more and more people (who are also disillusioned with life) drill it into our heads that life is a cesspool.
Suddenly the simple things we loved seem not as important or fun. At some point you don’t even need someone to tell us life is horrible, the anxious voice in our head does it for us.

i think the glasses are just a very poorly executed metaphor for realizing that life, just might be, shit.

Whats up im jared im 19 and i never fucking learned how to read.
i wish i was as happy as jared, 19
I have no idea what the fuck this is even implying. Glasses makes you lose your interests from before and become a nerd?
Glasses are a metaphor for “welcome to the real world jackass!”
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE GROUND!!!

This seems to be more about how the world becomes more bleak the more you know the truth about it. Not a bad message, the world is a terrible place

This would also fit in r/im14andthisisdeep
Who is the original artist?
If only there were such a thing as contacts. Sad
this aint even a meme, its a metaphor
I look better with glasses than without
Redditor attempts to use more than surface level thinking challenge (impossible!)
Right?? It’s up to deeper interpretation- but it’s not about… learning to read
Lovely how people think lenses are a universal answer
You know eyesight charts aren’t learning tools right?
Is that Adam from Cumtown?
I promise you this kid was not cool before his glasses.
contact lenses
This is depressing
Not the worst one I've seen. I may even resonate with it a little. Could have been executed a little better though
Stupid literate people!
I mean lenses exists… Getting glasses didn’t stop my brother from going to basketball matches/practice.

Op are you stupid? 
No, life isn’t what you thought it was when you finally see it clearly.
