My son was the same way. He wore his eyeglasses fine for the first few years when he was a child but when he entered high school, he would purposely lose or break his eyeglasses to the point I stopped replacing them and I asked why and he said, “Four eyes.” It was not until he was an adult when he realized he truly does not see well and bought his own eyeglasses – and handles them with care.
