*sigh*

Okay, it's been 3 months. I've put up with the minor inconvenience. Between fixing them, cleaning them (all the time), keeping track of them, keeping them from getting scratched or bent, keeping them on my face, and keeping them from making my face break out...

I have come to the conclusion that I really don't dig having to wear glasses.

Now, some of you don't even know I wear glasses, because of how little I enjoy them. They get fingerprints and smudges without me even touching them, they get a weird glare at night around bright lights, and my face just doesn't quite look the same. I like how glasses look on other people, when they're the right type. I think mine are okay with my face, I'm just not used to it.

Perhaps I just retain a strong aversion to wearing them from when I was young...

Last time I had to wear glasses I was 9 years old. Not only did I have to wear glasses, but I had to wear glasses with one of my eyes patched. To make matters worse, it was the good eye patched (good eye being my eye with the near perfect vision, as opposed to the one with the opaque cataract since birth that can only see the top letter on a standard eye chart), so I was blind as a frickin bat. To make matters even worse, my twin sister was in my class, so there was the twin with no glasses, and her identical blind sister.

Yay childhood trauma.

So, I have just enough of a perscription on my current glasses so that my insurance would cover the glasses. I don't technically need the vision correction (although there is a slight difference)but because I only have one eye that I can use (the other is so bad I ginore it) I was told to wear these as protective lenses, to keep my good eye safe from damage. Also, my flinching reflex is poor on the left side (because it cannot see things coming towards it) and the eye doctor didn't want it to get worse or affect my good eye.

But they just bug sometimes.
