Then 7th grade rolls around and I took the blessed eye test you just wrote about...turns out I'm basically blind.<BR/>I didn't mind wearing glasses so much, but when I got contacts a few years later I was definitely happier. <BR/>Then, the BEST day ever arrived and I got LASIK. Waking up in the morning and being able to SEE my alarm clock has to be one of the best things ever.<BR/>Going from worse than 20/400 to 20/25...worth anything!!Barbaloothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01541675474218507411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2365723478637027301.post-828857569066198182008-11-20T16:50:00.000-07:002008-11-20T16:50:00.000-07:00check out what a bunch of vain friends I have! Oo...check out what a bunch of vain friends I have! Oops, I mean "had" since they're all far past their vanity and see the necessity of good vision! <BR/><BR/>I'm back and forth with contacts and glasses still - depends on how active my day is going to be and whether or not I want to impress anyone I'm going to see :) (that's right - Vanity rears its ugly head... wait, would vanity have an ugly head... I don't think so - vanity would probably have a perfectly coifed and tweezed head!)TisforTonyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16666161027683872670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2365723478637027301.post-34013292220367755942008-11-20T15:57:00.000-07:002008-11-20T15:57:00.000-07:00I still remember the 4th grade vision screening wh...I still remember the 4th grade vision screening when a girl in my class failed. Everyone talked about her like she'd just contracted the plague! So, you can imagine how thrilled I was in 6th grade to learn I had to get some. I only wore them at home and far enough out the door my parents couldn't see me anymore (much to their chagrin). I finally bit the bullet and started wearing them always in eighth grade--life is so much easier when you can see!Chelsihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11592263367538845027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2365723478637027301.post-4533803967496209572008-11-20T13:49:00.000-07:002008-11-20T13:49:00.000-07:00I was so blind that the new clear world glasses of...I was so blind that the new clear world glasses offered me outweighed any vanity I had about wearing them.

Man, kids were cruel back then, especially in Junior High, well Junior High is bad enough, but with wearing glasses, it made it worse. So, glad my eyes were fine after taking the vision test for Driver's ED and I didn't have to wear them anymore.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01609394647799359557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2365723478637027301.post-61150780411253591622008-11-20T11:38:00.000-07:002008-11-20T11:38:00.000-07:00too funny!

However, in 7th grade, my parents finally let me get contacts, I think in response to my getting braces. <BR/><BR/>The right one fit perfectly, but I could never get the left one in or out. So for the entire school year, I only wore my right contact. I finally came clean, and I got a proper fit, but to this day my left eye is stronger than my right.<BR/><BR/>Ah, teenage vanity!<BR/><BR/>EmAshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00084508582913500810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2365723478637027301.post-63756089833545147872008-11-20T10:00:00.000-07:002008-11-20T10:00:00.000-07:00I always felt left out b/c I didn't wear glasses.(...I always felt left out b/c I didn't wear glasses.<BR/><BR/>(Found you through SITS)jubileehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07924715623122612454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2365723478637027301.post-16111919970446506642008-11-20T09:35:00.000-07:002008-11-20T09:35:00.000-07:00Oh, and I often wonder what it's like to see "norm...Oh, and I often wonder what it's like to see "normally".

But, as soon as I turned 13, I got contacts. Never take them out. Thankfully, I don't have to wear the big fat glasses of old now. I get to wear these slick thin glasses even with my legally blind prescription.<BR/><BR/>Btw, I'm sad for that girl now. I'll be thinking about her all day.jewelstreethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08560874223680274476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2365723478637027301.post-45328004505588506812008-11-20T09:21:00.000-07:002008-11-20T09:21:00.000-07:00It wasn't so bad, as I remember.

It was amazing how I could finally see the mountains. It was amazing that I had played softball with vision so poor.
