Turn back the clock to when I was in grade 4...I thought it was cool to squint but even cooler to wear glasses, my whole family wore them. So when it was my turn I spent time deliberating and finally chose a 'pretty' rainbow polka dot pattern (remember it was the 70's ;). I loved them so much that they were on my face asap!
My excitement carried over through the weekend, until I went to school. Within seconds of putting on my new spec's I was labelled a four eyed freak and laughed at! After 2 days of verbal torture, my goggles never came out of my school bag again. My confidence was crushed and it wasn't until grade 9 that I'd give it another go. My next pair being styled after Lynda Carter / Angela Bower. They were the biggest saucers you'd ever seen, covered half my face and I loved them too! End result was the same thing only worse 'cause I was a teenager :(
...some twenty odd years later (and only one pair of glasses), my dream of contact lenses was realized and I could actually see, with confidence, for the first time since grade 4! Flash forward another ten and I foresee Lasik eye surgery...
What I'm wondering is if you are either in denial and do nothing or are you are a goggles girl, a Lasik chic or contact lens baby!!?
