I actually have an awkward condition called Prosopagnosia. This is an inability to recognise faces or face blindness. Growing up with it was traumatic and bewildering. Now, I can actually see the funny side but for sure you can wind up in highly uncomfortable situations. I mean, normally with the condition, you learn to focus on stuff like glasses, clothes, voice tone and, above all, location and setting. However, I've bumped into people out of location and simply not known who they are. Well, in the case someone says,"Don't you know me?", I may take off my specs, clean the lenses and make the claim I couldn't see that well. It is, however, problematic and people do get offended. I even met one guy online who'd failed to recognise his own parents out of the home.
