I remember back in middle school all of the 7th graders had to have their eyes checked to see if they needed glasses. The day that it was my turn to be checked, I was confident that my vision was perfectly fine and that I would easily pass the eye exam that I was about to take. WRONG. I failed miserably, squinting and winking trying to read the minuscule letters from the dreaded eye chart, only to find out that I am far sighted in one eye, near sighted in the other & to top it off, I have astigmatism. WHAT...me? I needed glasses?! Talk about causing a 7th grade girl's world to come crashing down all around her. I just knew that I would be the biggest nerd in school....I was going to be known as "4 eyes."
Funny how things change as we grow older. Now wearing eyeglasses is an "in" trend, even for people that don't need to wear glasses to help their vision! I don't know what I would do without mine. I wear contacts during the day, because the bright Florida sunshine doesn't mesh well with my glasses, but there are a few times during the day when my glasses are crucial.
If I'm reading for long periods of time or getting ready for bed I cannot stand wearing my contacts. I feel like they are sucking my eyes dry and it drives me CRAZY. I decided to take some pictures of me reading, because let's be honest...pictures of me getting ready for bed just wouldn't have been very cute ;)
One thing that is not so fun about wearing glasses is the price tag that goes along with buying an eyeglass prescription. When I found out how much my glasses were going to cost, my jaw dropped to the floor. Who knew that something so small, that so many people needed to buy would cost so much money?!
Well people, I'm here to tell you that you don't have to pay an arm & a leg in order to be able to use your eyes. I wish I would have known where to buy some cheap glasses that were still high quality back when I first started wearing them!
