Glasses

I, (unfortunately) have to wear glasses. Now, it was only about one year ago in which I spoke up about the fact I wasn't able to see the board in class or read the television guide when it was on the television. So, one day I decided that enough was enough, and I asked my mum to book me an opticians apointment. So, along I went and, suprise, suprise, they told me that I needed glasses. I wasn't a big fan of the idea really, but I can't even explain the difference they made. It genuinley felt like everything was in 'HD!' At first I had some normal black rectangular glasses which I just wore for things I needed. However, I slowly realised that the prescription I had wasn't really strong enough and so, about 6 months later, I went back to the opticians. They re-tested me and confirmed the fact that I did indeed, need a stronger prescription. I also decided to upgrade my frames and seeing as I was 16, and still in full-time education, I could get a money off voucher on the NHS to put towards the glasses. This enabled me to by some Gok Wan glasses which I fell in love with. It almost makes wearing them much more bearable! I have to admit I probably do rely on them too much now and wear them practically all the time. I find most things blurry or off focus without them and squint a lot which gives me headaches so wearing them is the only option. It's amazing the amount of things that you look at which are at a long distance. Stupid things like reading prices on shelves in the supermakrket or looking at signs on the road are hard for me to read without them! I definately take after my mum in this area as she wears glasses or contact lenses 24/7. My friend also said that she felt the same way, and i've urged her to go and get an appointment at the opticians for, what seemed like a year. Anyways, just this week she went to have the appointment and she did indeed need glasses just like me. So, if your sat there and feel the same and are just putting it off, then don't! Get up and book yourself an appointment. Honestly, I couldn't beleive how much clearer things looked when I first got them. I couldn't be without them now! So here's a picture of my glasses. Hope you like them, speak soon.xx
