From the age of 9 I realized that I could not see well, but I thought it was something "normal" but as the years went by I realized that it was affecting me both at school and in daily life, in reality I had to practically sit in the first places of the room to be able to see the blackboard, sometimes I did not run with that luck and had to sit back, I still did not tell anyone that I was seeing very blurry, I forced my eyes too much to see what was written there, until I reached the point of not taking it anymore and I discussed my problem with some people who passed me the notes on the blackboard after finishing class.
A teacher realized my problem and I discussed it with my parents, from that moment I had to be honest, at this stage of my life I was already ashamed to say it, I calculate that I was about 13 years old, I really do not remember, but I was ashamed of the idea to think about wearing glasses.
This shame arises from the “bullying” that I saw other children who wore glasses and I was afraid of being part of the mockery, at that time I was very sensitive and really wanted to avoid those bad times.
My parents obviously decided to take me to an ophthalmologist where we realized that the problem was really serious, my vision level at that time was -3 in one eye and -2 in the other, the doctor told me that I had myopia and astigmatism, for Of course they made me some glasses that I really didn't like but they were the cheapest at that time and my parents didn't have enough money to pay for something better, when they gave me my new glasses I felt a huge emotion when I saw the world in high definition hahaha after so many years of seeing the world blurred and at that time the bulliying that I imagined was worse than I expected, sometimes I would take them off to avoid those situations, but I didn't see anything ... over time I learned to assimilate the immaturity of those who They made fun of me, I accepted with my glasses also that with them I could see everything very clearly, I should not care what others say, a few years passed and so I changed lenses until I reached the last ones I had, I never again went to an optician, the reason for this was the situation in the country, it was increasingly expensive to have an exam and glasses, especially for me, I use a very thick formula, if I do not calculate wrong, it lasts about 8 o 9 years with these lenses that I currently had, I had planned to change them but I did not think it would be so soon.
However, one afternoon more than a month ago my glasses broke, a screw that was already rusty came out and the legs of the glasses are really loose, the next day I went to the optician that is near my house, there I they did my exam.
The man who attended me was very kind, he was even asking me what he was working on so as not to make the appointment so uncomfortable, my formula obviously changed now to -5 in one eye and -6 in the other, I paid for my glasses which were very expensive for the formula and also because I decided that the glass was very thin (my type of formula has very thick crystals) when paying for my glasses they told me that I had to wait about a month to deliver them, the wait was long but it was worth the pain.
Yesterday I received a call where they told me that I could go and get my new lenses, I was very excited to know that I would finally change to something different, in this waiting period while my lenses arrived I bought contact lenses with magnification, some without color and another with color to avoid using both my old lenses and that they will end up spoiling and although it is a good option, it is also very tiring to have contact lenses all day long, so I only used them in specific cases such as going out or putting on makeup, Colored contact lenses are the most beautiful. I chose them in a shade called “Quartz” and they really change my face.
My new lenses are beautiful, they are large and I see everything clearly, with the previous ones I could not see very well because obviously my formula changed my eyesight has deteriorated more with the passage of time, I left very satisfied with my new lenses although I did not like it waiting so long, but in the end it was worth it, I chose a very large lens frame and with a different style than the one I have always used and I love how they fit me, plus the real glass made it very thin just as I asked and apart I add anti-reflection and it's super cool, it doesn't bother me at all the lights don't show reflections, I see everything very well.
