"Four-eyed stick"

That's what most of my classmates used to to call me whenever we see each other in zoom meeting or google classroom now. They're mean? Well, if we aren't close enough to each other, I would probably kick their a$$ and remove their spinal cords without them even finishing the whole insulting phrase. But nah uh, I am not gonna do that because we are somehow close to each other and insulting each other already became part of our bond. Anyways, I can't really call those words as insulting ones. They are just telling the truth.Lol. I am so thin like a stick and I am wearing this odd rectangular spectacles. What else could they call me? I can't blame them, they are not used to see me wearing an eyeglasses before this pandemic strikes.

Anyways, based on my title, this will be all about my struggles of wearing eyeglasses and I am already experiencing it right now while writing this. Well, I am slowly losing my patience in here and so I think I need to finish it quickly.

However, it would be too rude of me if I will not state the reason behind this damaged eyes of mine.

*insert the iconic line of Filipino moms*

"KAKASELPON MO YAN!" (Too much phone usage.)

This time, I would definitely agree with her. Of course, we all know that too much exposure to cellphones will really affect our eyes and vision in the long run. And obviously, it is because of its radiation.

If I am going to total the hours of my phone usage, I think I usually spend more than 10 hours a day facing the screen of this little rectangular electronic device.

Anyways, let's stop beating around the bush and start discussing this topic right now.

Struggles I face in wearing eyeglasses

Foggy lens.

It always happen whenever I am drinking coffee or any hot beverages. Aside from that, I also experience foggy lens whenever I wear mask and it's really not nice. Swear. This never fails to irritate me or ruin my moment. Well, to cope up with this, I just remove my glasses and endure the blurry vision. Anyways, I only suffer this when I am not in the house.

Slipping down the nose

Okay, this is what I hated the most. I constantly adjust my eyeglasses because it always slips down the bridge of my nose. And when I say constantly, means every 5 minutes. The nose pads doesn't help at all because the problem isn't on the glasses, it's my oily and greasy face. Any suggestion for this one?

Eyeglass Dependent

I made a big adjustments during my first three days of wearing an eyeglass. Well, I am just 6 months eyeglass user anyways. But the moment that I get to used to it, my eyes also became dependent to the spectacle. I can no longer look at my phone without it because my head will hurt and I need to squint. Also, if you are going to see me walking somewhere without an eyeglass, please forgive me if I will just ignore you. It's not because I hate you or what, I just don't recognize you due to my blurred vision.

________________________

Closing Thought

When I was younger, I am always curious about those people who wear eyeglasses. In fact, I even wish to experience it too. But now, I don't like it anymore. If you are the 20-20 vision type of person, consider yourself lucky. Wearing an eyeglass is not fun. Trust me.

IT IS NOT FUN especially these days wherein you have to wear a mask and faceshield (I swear kasumpasumpa tong faceshield)! The struggle is real!

As an eyeglasses user for years, you'll get used to it. Inconvenient, yes. But it helps you to see beautiful things clearly.

And if money is not an issue, magpapa-lasik talaga ako! Kaso hindi tayo mayaman so chagaan na lang sa salamin at contact lenses. Hehehe!

I didn't get insulted by anyone cos I put on glasses, perhaps because I didn't use glasses until I got to the university.

My lens only gets foggy whenever I put on a face ask, I breathe out and it gets foggy, breathe in and it gets clear again. It's annoying.

The issue I'm having at the moment is that my nose is marked badly and the marked aoits have gotten really dark compared to the rest of my face, it's a bit embarrassing so I try as much as ooreinke not to let my glasses off my face when I'm in public.

I'm photoohobic hence I have to out on glasses all the time ,throughout the day whether I'm outdoor or not.

I mostly fell asleep with my glasses and wake up to see my face terribly marked as well.

I think it depends on the kind of glasses you use. It slips simply means it's not tight and slightly wider then your face

With a simple 15-20 minute operation, you can get rid of your glasses completely by having smart lenses fitted. In my eyes, there are some mistakes I made as a child, due to looking directly at the sun too much. I had surgery 2 times, I have a smart lens in one of my eyes. After 1 week, I will have another operation and a smart lens will be placed in my other eye. Since the smart lens can adjust the distance and near by itself, you do not need glasses. I don't know how much there but it's a bit expensive here.

Really? Wooow. It is my first time to hear about smart lens. When I was younger, I used to stare at the sun too and I gues it really damaged my eyes.

We 3 friends were playing the game who will look at the sun the most. The first to look away loses the game. Unfortunately, three of us had problems with our eyes. It is an unconscious and dangerous game. In this regard, parents should be careful about their children. You can ask your smart lens doctor, he will inform.

I hate foggy lens the most! Every time I exit a cold room to a warmer one, I really can't see a thing because of the fog. It's especially annoying when I have to get out from a taxi ride during the rain.

I was told when I was young to also use eyeglasses but I believe I can see clearly. But right now, I am always glued to my phone screen and it's affecting me so badly. I do read my books for several hours and I won't feel any pain but now, once I read up to an hour, I start experiencing Pain until I sleep for some minutes to calm it down.

My niece wears very thick eyeglasses (very expensive too) for without them, she can't see a thing. It was in her genes though so cannot do anything about it. I agree with taking good care of our eyes especially at this techy age. We need to have discipline to not abuse ourselves.
