Wearing eyeglasses

penny April 28th, 2008

I’ve recently needed to wear glasses. Towards the end of high school I was prescribed correction lenses but I rarely wore them [I chose green frames btw :)] Vision seemed fine. I’ve had my eyes checked every now and then and often get cleared for problems. But now, I need the correction lenses again.

I do fine without them, but I noticeably squint my eyes when I am reading or doing something that requires focus. So I was told to wear them [I have red frames this time] as much as I could so my eyes don’t get strained.

The general dislike for wearing the frames comes from the following…

(1) the extra chore of remember to wear them,
(2) thinking of whether to bring its protective case or not,
(3) its sliding off my no-bridged nose, (yes, pango ako, bow)
(4) getting smudges on it from touching it when it slides,
(5) fogging when you walk from a cold room to where it’s warm,
(6) fogging when i unknowingly aim my breath towards it (pag nagpapalumbaba),
(7) messing up the view transition between the lens frame and my peripherals, (this makes me lose my balance when walking, especially stairs!!)
(8) forgetting to bring them when i need them.
(9) [addendum] light refraction when you’re in a funny angle from bright light

Contact lenses? Unnecessary at this point. But I don’t like sticking things into my eye either.

    i went past through those phases. it is specially irritating at night when you look at lights/lamps/headlights, there’s a glare emanating from the source. parang carebears countdown power. hehehe

    hmmm…
    a. a big hassle when kissing (except when you’re spiderman)
    b. when the temples and nosepads moved by a milimeter, the vision of your world changes by meters
    c. it makes you look smart/intelligent even if you’re not (i experienced this, i’m sure you guys have no problem)
    d. children call you lolo/lola
    e. it hides the sparkles of your eyes and emotions it exudes
    f. you carry mannerisms you’ve gained while wearing it even if you’re not
    g. can’t see bikinis and bathing suits underwater
