Wearing glasses
I used to have glasses
Back when I was 13 or 14 I had to get glasses. The school did an eye test, and I was found wanting. So off to an eye specialist I went, who prescribed glasses for me. He told me I had to wear them until I was 18, and then he’d test my eyes again to see how they were doing.
I wore those glasses for about 2-3 months then just stopped wearing them. I decided that I didn’t need them, and that was the end of it. When I was 18, I had to go to that eye specialist though, and he did another examination. My eyesight had improved, and he told me that was because of the glasses – it was a good thing that I’d been wearing them for the previous 5 years, he said, otherwise they’d be a lot worse.
