Glasses are such an amazing solution that their only drawback is being visible. How can you even compare wheelchairs to glasses? Because glasses used to be stigmatized and later became a fashion accessory? Surely this is primarily to do with the fact that they completely restore all normal function. Glasses do not preclude you from any social activities, in fact they sometimes enable them (sunglasses). Wheelchairs, on the other hand, carry massive limitations requiring extra accommodation. Have you ever called ahead to an event to notify them you will be wearing glasses? Have you ever had to convince a group of friends to change the event to take place somewhere that is glasses-friendly? Once we have a solution that is as good as glasses at fixing mobility issues you will quickly see the stigma disappear. But right now wheelchairs are an icon of all the things they preclude.
