Lamentations Of A Glasses/contact Lens User by nedu2000(m): 4:18pm On May 03, 2015 |
I've worn glasses for well over a decade,it started with 3 diopter of short-sightedness(-3)from which it got worse (-6) by 1999,it has remained so ever since.It hasn't been easy and I sure would like to see the world in HD in my lifetime and not this'. 'NTA' standard my eyes offer. My Perils include: 1)SPORTING DRAWBACK: if you think zinedine Zidane,Eden Hazard,leo Messi are the most creative footballers then you've never seen me play,but with my eyesight I had to cool down on my football career.Infact in my University days I rarely get chosen in teams 2)ROMANTIC DRAWBACKS: There were times a got a 'moment' with some hot chics and as I was closing in for a french kiss my glasses sets up a awkward moment instead and my chance is gone! The glasses also give me this "he's cute but he's not man enough since he wears glasses!!" from girls. 3 )DOMESTIC/EVERYDAY CHALLENGES: I can't fall asleep swiftly without looking for a means to drop my glasses somewhere,if I use contacts my sparkling eyes turn red the next day,if it's raining/foggy my glasses becomes completely misty and unlike windshields,spectacles don't come with wipers 4)MISCELLAENOUS: job opportunities-i studied civil engineer but I have fewer opportunities to prove myself as a good site engineer due to stereotypes * intimidation- I was driving around Orile in Lagos when one lanky dude tried extorting money from me,merely because he felt I was weak/gentle not until I broke his nose did he realise I wasn't weak, had to spend N2500 on his treatment Nairalanders please is there any sort cure for shortsightedness? I heard of many side-effects in relation to the laser option! 21 Likes 3 Shares |

It's not about the glasses; it's about you. I don't believe the job opportunity part. Even blind people have jobs. I use glasses and I've never been treated differently. Do you use the geeky-albert-Einstein glasses with rounded rims or the funky-asha-on-fire ones? 16 Likes |

I dumped my glasses just 3 weeks after getting them. I have 20/20 vision dammit! Fvck that optometrist who thinks otherwise. And fvck you too if you feel my optometrist was right to prescribe them. *middleFinger* Hold it, hold it! Why am I seeing two middle fingers instead of one? 42 Likes 3 Shares |

My glasses is a turn on. I get more attention from ladies since I decided to dump corrective inefficient drugs for glasses. Glasses makes you look more responsible and cool. 7 Likes 1 Share |
