I have to wear glasses daily, ever since I was four years old. Do you wear glasses? Also, do you know when they were first invented?
I'm not sure when they were invented, but I also wear glasses/contacts. I know I need them to correct my nearsightedness, or I would be a danger to the road when I drive! I think I will need reading glasses soon as well.
Haha I know that feeling! I can't wear contacts as I don't like things going near my eye. I'm near sighted in one eye, and long sighted in the other! Makes my prescription an interesting one!
Yes, that would be an interesting script! I usually wear contacts when I go somewhere, glasses at home. But, it can be difficult to get used to putting your lens directly on the surface of your eye!
Yeah, my whole body shook when my optomitrist tried to put them in for me. I haven't tried again since! How long did it take you to get used to wearing contacts?
Well, I believe I had to first go visit my optometrist when I was around 12 and started with glasses. I started contacts around 14, so about 16 years! I may go to an ophthalmologist the next time I need corrective lenses.
NIce! I really do wish I could wear them, but I'm so accustomed to how I look now wearing glasses.
I think glasses and contacts have their own separate purposes for each person. My children can only wear glasses too! Ophthalmologists really do have to have many years of higher learning after hs to get their degree. It ends up about an additional 12-14 years, so I definitely feel comfortable when them!
