It’s fascinating how our perception of the world can change when we start wearing glasses

It’s fascinating how our perception of the world can change when we start wearing glasses. Let me share a couple of stories about people who experienced this firsthand: First-Time Glasses Wearer: A 25-year-old woman shared her surprise on Reddit after getting glasses for the first time in her life. She had never experienced any issues with her eyesight before and had never worn glasses. However, during an eye exam, she discovered that she was nearsighted and needed glasses. Her prescription was -1.50 in her left eye and -1.75 in her right eye, with -0.50 astigmatism in both eyes. She was amazed at how well she could see with her new glasses, even noticing details in the distance that she hadn’t expected. Adjusting to wearing glasses full-time was a big change, but she found it exciting to suddenly be a glasses wearer1. Late Bloomer: A 24-year-old man also started wearing glasses recently. He had suffered from headaches, eye pain, and blurry reading for over a month. After visiting an eye doctor, he received a mild prescription for glasses. He wore them full-time for the first two weeks and then for reading or screen time. Adjusting to glasses came with its challenges, like dealing with dirt, water, and fogging on the lenses. However, he felt like he had joined a special club and empathized more with other glasses wearers. Interestingly, he realized that most people start wearing glasses either earlier or later in life, but his experience in his 20s was unique2. So, whether you’re a first-time glasses wearer or a late bloomer, adjusting to this new perspective can be both exciting and challenging. And remember, you’re not alone—many others have gone through similar experiences! 😊
