FIRST TIME GLASSES

Ok so I have really bad eyesight since I was very young but overlooked it in my teen years, yes the words on the board during classes were hardly visible but I ignored it and just decided to sit closer up in front during classes.I had never thought about the idea of getting glasses because I had become so accustomed to how I see things so it never really bothered me. My parents started noticing that I had a hard time reading things around like when we go shopping or something like that and my dad asked me one day "Is your eyesight really that bad?, read the words on the TV screen to me" Oh my god I nearly died from nervousness I was scared he was going to yell at me for lying and pretending my eyes were fine. I told him I couldn't read the small print and that the words looked very blurry and that the faces of people were not that highly defined, he shook his head and laughed and told me "I think it's time for you to get some glasses".


 I felt sick I mean I never wore them and the one time I did I looked horrible but those glasses weren't as "HD" as what I was about to get. So I made an appointment and went to meet with an optometrist and he gave me my measurements and such and I was off to purchase some. When I received my glasses I wasn't to thrilled and I spent quite a while contemplating on the idea that I was to wear these ugly things wherever I went. I went to the washroom and placed them on and "OH MY GOD" I nearly died...The high definitioness was to tooooo much for me to take in, I could see every damn imperfection on my skin and a whole bunch of randomly placed dots all over my skin (Seriously wtf?) I took them off and looked at myself (Hmmm pretty decent looking) then popped them back on (Ahhhh kill it with fire!)

I ran out to look at my family members and they all had that freaky HD look to them with dots and all so I was like "MY WHOLE LIFE WAS A LIE". I went to go look outside and for the first time in twenty-one years I could actually see the distinct markings on each and every single blade of grass on my lawn (Amazing), the tree's actually looked pretty cool and the outside world was just like stepping onto an alien planet for the first time. So nonetheless to say seeing the world with glasses really made the world seem like a new place, I could read words on buildings, road signs and everything but the most deceiving part was how goddamn ugly everyone else around me looks (No offence I am in no position to call anyone ugly but seriously everyone looks like a mess) my family members, friends and favourite celebs looked so different (In a bad way unfortunately).So I did some research and found out that because glasses are so HD you will see things more clearly the human eye would so I was like thank god because I want to take these damn things off and live a life full of lies pretending that everyone around me are angels with perfect faces and skin. Anyways enough of that rant its been several months and now that ugliness everyone had is less pronounced and I don't see those ugly dots anymore either but seeing my own reflection still makes me gag a little and I want snap my glasses in half.

So my dad told me that I can look forward to getting Lasik Eye Surgery in a couple of months so I wont have a hassle with glasses and contacts! I was soooooo happy and I love my dad for spending that ridiculous amount of money on me for my eyes (He had gotten the surgery in his 30's). He told me it was the best decision he had made in his life and he regrets how he hadn't thought of it sooner because glasses can really weigh a person down in some aspects. Ok so I'm getting Lasik right? I should be happy that these nerd glasses are coming off right? NO! inside I have this fear dwelling where what if my eyes become so HD I see the same ugliness I did when I wore glasses? How the hell can I escape from that? NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! but then again not everyone had 20/20 vision and even if I may not like how I look in the mirror some people with poor eyesight will see me as some supermodel so I'm content (Enough).
