“She’s dark-skinned, pimpled-faced and always wearing an eyeglasses.” This was how other people usually described me. I may have overcome the pimples a little bit but the eyeglasses have always been a part of me since I was 12 years old. I started to notice that there’s something wrong with my eyes when I was 9 years old and I didn’t tell my parents about it. Besides, nobody in the school wore eyeglasses, so I had no idea that I was becoming near-sighted. When I started high school, I could no longer ask my teachers to make me sit in the first row. So, my dependence on eyeglasses began.

I couldn’t count how many pairs of eyeglasses I have had. I’ve also tried contact lenses and loved it but it cost more. But without them, I couldn’t see clearly everything that’s half a meter away from me! Maybe that’s why I don’t enjoy swimming. Plus, I couldn’t wear ordinary sunglasses! I can’t afford it now, but I’m really bent on undergoing a Lasik (laser in-situ keratomileusis) eye surgery in the future. I’ve read some information regarding Lasik and the photos look a bit frightening. But I’d rather be brave enough (of course, have enough finances) to get rid of near-sightedness, than be bonded with eyeglasses.
