Yesterday, I got my first pair of prescription glasses, and put them on in the supermarket.
For a long time, my eyes were giving me problems with reading and concentration; headaches were common, too. Naturally, I stubbornly refused to see an ophthalmologist, thinking that my eyes couldn't possibly be, well, broken. Though upon
ryvaeus' insistence, I went to see his eye doctor. TL;DR: curious eye condition, wearing glasses necessary. Lasik in the future...?
Wearing glasses in the supermarket--already colorful to begin with--surprised me. I forgot how sharp and vibrant the world was. Having a pair of new eyes was so refreshing, it was like having a constant rainbow in my face. Or a DSLR/printer commercial. Or a team of graphic designers 'shopping every background, every image, every detail. It was fucking Candyland.
I was initially apprehensive about wearing specs. Mostly because the glasses-wearing people in my family kept reminding me how inconvenient they were. Now... I don't mind so much. My glasses are awesome, and
JP thinks they're moe full of geeky pink love. ♥
