growing up i had terrible vision. i hated wearing my glasses because i swear, it was like looking through coke bottles. it didn't matter how cute the frames were back then, the lenses had to be so thick they totally stole the show.
eventually, i got contacts and those held me over until i received the most amazing graduation present ever...lasic. for eight years i've been able to see better than anyone i know. i mean, we're talking so good that i actually joke, it's better than x-ray vision (i find this very funny...mike no longer does). all this from a girl who actually cried the first time she woke up and was able to read the alarm clock without any sort of optical assistance.
sadly, i've noticed over the past year that my eyes are tired at the end of the day. they're dry and sore and i attribute this all to working too much - oh, and my addiction to trivia games on my iphone! sure enough, i went to the optometrist tonight and low and behold, i need glasses.
i swallowed hard and explained that i haven't had to wear glasses since junior high. but, my protests fell on deaf ears. the doctor explained that the computer use and my bad habit of reading in poor lighting is effecting my far-sightedness and even at that, it's not anything major.
wait, so the lasic surgery didn't fail me? my distance vision is still okay? no coke bottles in my future? just cute reading glasses that will be more of an accessory than anything?
as the optometrist assured me, all the while thinking, "this girl is nuts," the insecure teenager inside of me breathed a sigh of relief. after all, this warrants some overdue shopping....
look out eyeglass store. here i come.
