He didn’t get glasses till he was like ten, because the magical world doesn’t have things like regular testing for these things.
They’re too big for him, so they fall off whenever he does anything more active than running and he has to keep pushing them up
He takes them off whenever he doesn’t need them for close-up stuff, and then they get left behind when he forgets to put them back on
He has trouble telling who people are if they aren’t within a metre of him
He regularly loses his friends because of this
And it has lost him several girlfriends when he mixes them up with someone else
Part of the reason he is so frond of Lily is because he always knows who she is, because of her hair
He didn’t know what Professor Binns looked like until his fifth year, between the antics of his friends, losing his glasses, skipping class and falling asleep
Quidditch was a bit of a nightmare unless he wore his goggles
Peter’s cat kept stealing both his normal pair and his backup pair during the night, so catandglasses hunts were a regular and nessecary part of getting ready for the boys each morning.
He was never very good in Potions, in part due to the fact that he regularly couldn’t see even with his glasses on, because the heat steamed them up.
He keeps mistaking random cats for Professor McGonagall.
Lily once teamed up with his friends to mess with his glasses any way they could. James couldn’t walk straight for the next three weeks, until Professor Slughorn put a stop to it when he knocked over three cauldrons in one lesson.
After Harry was born, he loved trying to take James’ glasses. Sirius was extremely proud.
He once went without them for two weeks, when Harry broke both pairs irreparably and they had to wait for Sirius to get a replacement pair that worked for him, an endeavour that took three tries, since James couldn’t go with him
The last time Sirius ever stole his glasses was when they were both 21, and James was too dead to stop him
