20 Vision

Back when I wasn’t working, my sharp eyesight used to be my pride and glory among my family. I could easily read information from afar when they couldn’t. My dad would usually ask me to look out for signs far away on our vacation travels to communicate it to him in advance. I would always sneer to both my siblings “My vision is perfect eh!” or “Pangpilot pa daw yung eyesight ko, hah!”

…Those were the good ‘ol days.

After much blinking and focus, I’ve realized my left eyesight degraded. I found it hard reading letters at about an arms length away from the monitor, each character seems a little soft now on the sides. This disappoints me to a certain degree and I guess is a wake up call about my health in spending most of my life in front of a digital box.

Sigh, time to give an optician a visit and get new lenses I guess.

And to think I loved wearing frames without lenses. I guess the people who found that quite irritating had their prayers answered: for me to wear a legitimate lens for my frames now.

I still hope they get corrected though, I loved my precise vision. This will probably be a humbling experience.

He gives and He takes away, blessed be His name.

Any tips on getting my sight back, anyone?
