Four Eyes Me

I was always the tallest student in class. I was also near-sighted. With big pink plastic glasses of a grade which seemed never enough for me to read the little curly characters on the teacher’s board from the back (and I mean the ultimate, final, last row) of the room.

I was the kid trying to look inconspicuous crawling quietly to the front, crouching low on the floor just to copy the day’s lesson. I was the nerd who had a sweaty nose and had a habit of pushing up her glasses every five seconds. I was the girl who looked like a geek at her junior prom.

I was the silently suffering secretly pretty person (heh) who, at the age of 14, begged her father for contact lenses. And got them at 16. It did a world of difference, beginning with people finally being able to see my eyes for the first time.

Getting contact lenses was really the turning point for my confidence. It was then I realized I wasn’t so ugly. It was then I started to feel maybe I could be pretty. I had a blast at my senior prom, wearing just my face and a cakeful of makeup. The boy I liked, he liked me back. I went home with flowers, a teddy bear and a love letter from one boy, and a weird Valentine’s card from another boy. Hehehe. Oh and a boatload of happiness.

So I thank you, Bausch & Lomb (my very first pair), Duralex (my second and subsequent pairs) and PrecisionUV (my current pair). You have made my outlook in life a whole lot brighter.

P.S. My drawing looks a lot cuter than I was hehe.

When I was going through middle/high school they gave me classes. I was so embarrassed of them that I wouldn’t wear them and my grades were showing it. I couldn’t see anything. Just blurry lines of the board or a big white blur of the projector. I begged my mom for lenses but she said I wasn’t responsible enough to have them. After I moved out and got a job, the first thing I did was get lenses. One of the best days ever.

They have known the same thing for me in confidence. Even though I didn’t wear them in school I soon was embarrassed of my grades. Funny how much one small thing can change your life.
