A heartwarming and humorous video recently went viral on TikTok, showing a young girl requesting to wear glasses, despite having perfect vision.

Posted by TikTok user @ameerhakeemy, the video features the girl's father sharing an amusing moment where his daughter tried her best to convince him that she needed glasses. Her sudden interest in eyewear, however, wasn't due to any vision issues. Instead, she was influenced by her school environment, where many of her classmates were already sporting spectacles.

Curious to see if her request was genuine or merely a case of childhood peer pressure, the father decided to test her on the spot.

In the first test, he asked his daughter to walk normally. She began walking slowly and cautiously, mimicking someone who truly couldn't see well. She even declared, "Earlier during BM class, I was short-sighted," in a serious and convincing tone.

For the second test, the father held up one finger and asked her how many fingers she could see. She correctly answered "one," but when he moved his hand slightly farther away, she changed her answer to "two." The father repeated the test a few times, but her answers stayed the same, raising further suspicion about her supposed vision issues.

In the video caption, the father joked, "Peer pressure might be normal for women, maybe wearing glasses makes them feel attractive," poking fun at his daughter's attempt in a lighthearted way.

The video quickly gained traction, and the comments were filled with laughter and nostalgia. Many netizens confessed they had done the same thing as children, pretending to have poor eyesight just to wear glasses like their friends.

Some shared that they once faked blurry vision at school to get attention or fit in, but later regretted their wishes when they actually needed prescription glasses as adults.

Others, however, took a more cautious approach and advised the father to take his daughter for a proper eye check-up, just in case.

Responding to the suggestions, the father assured everyone that an eye examination had already been done, and the results confirmed that his daughter had no vision problems. She was simply influenced by her peers and wanted to fit in.

The wholesome clip served as a sweet reminder of the innocent ways children navigate social trends, and how parents can turn these moments into gentle lessons, with a bit of humour.
