When you wear glasses for years, maybe decades for this guy, it becomes an unconscious movement.

Whoa, I had glasses in third grade. Was pushing them up when I got contacts by seventh. It's not an old thing. It's muscle memory.

Downvotes aside, seriously: the only person I know who did this had early stage Alzheimer's. Might be worht a visit to the neurologist.

While there's an argument to be made over term limits, bigotry isn't the solution. It's just a fun moment caught on camera, everyone who

When I got contacts in my 20s I was always poking myself in the eye trying to push up my invisible glasses.

Yes, he doesn't poke his eye, now does he? That's the thing I'm saying.

If you ACTUALLY watch he does but you clearly can't let anything go. Do you even wear glasses?

It's his fingers, they overlap a bit. The glasses are just the new Invisiwear 3000 model. He lost them after he put them down.

More of those dementos should be leaving. 80 should be end age.

term limits wouldn't affect the quality of the senators, only electing better ones can do that.

But where are his glasses & what is he missing by not having them? Can’t see far or can’t read close. Only options. Both bad for a Senator.

Maybe he switched to contacts and just hasn't got used to not having glasses on

8 years ago | Likes 30 Dislikes 0

The dude is 83. Doubtful he just discovered contacts. Normal for glasses-to-contacts ppl to go through this muscle-memory phase. Not at 83.

8 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 13

I'm confused. Do 83 year olds not use contacts/technology or are they magically immune to decades of muscle memory?

8 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 1

No, they had decades before they were 80 to try out contact lenses. If they join the party at 80, they’re late to the game.

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 5

Yep. I just got contacts after 10 years of glasses. Phantom glasses are a real thing.

I fidget with my glasses when I'm nervous, could be that too

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

No doubt on that. But he’s 83. Shouldn’t he have worked out the glasses vs. contacts thing by now? Plus the reader glasses? It’s just weird.

8 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 4

could've also been lasik or a recent eye surgery improved his vision.
