I can't believe i have to explain this;

Point 1. Ever heard of Lasik or PRK?

Point 2. Seriously? you missed a romantic moment because of glasses. If you have to wear glasses to kiss a lady then you are blind.

Point 3. You probably bought your glasses under the bridge at ojuelegba. Prescribed glasses meant for only you should not be uncomfortable. I wear glasses, so i know.

Point 4. Now i know this is MOD story. It's all made up.

Point 5. More confirmation that it's a MOD story.
i've won glasses since 1993,well I must admit i've patronised the seller's from oguelegba at least 3x but the inconvenience is not peculiar to them alone.
Haba i've had my way with a few chics in my time but there've been two that got away 'cause as I leaned to kiss I nervously started adjusting my head so she doesn't hit them(i was quite shy then).what confirmation do u want?my pics?

nedu2000:
I've worn glasses for well over a decade,it started with 3 diopter of short-sightedness(-3)from which it got worse (-6) by 1999,it has remained so ever since.It hasn't been easy and I sure would like to see the world in HD in my lifetime and not this'. 'NTA' standard my eyes offer.
My Perils include:

1)SPORTING DRAWBACK: if you think zinedine Zidane,Eden Hazard,leo Messi are the most creative footballers then you've never seen me play,but with my eyesight I had to cool down on my football career.Infact in my University days I rarely get chosen in teams sad

2)ROMANTIC DRAWBACKS: There were times a got a 'moment' with some hot chics and as I was closing in for a french kiss my glasses sets up a awkward moment instead and my chance is gone! The glasses also give me this "he's cute but he's not man enough since he wears glasses!!" from girls.

3 )DOMESTIC/EVERYDAY CHALLENGES: I can't fall asleep swiftly without looking for a means to drop my glasses somewhere,if I use contacts my sparkling eyes turn red the next day,if it's raining/foggy my glasses becomes completely misty and unlike windshields,spectacles don't come with wipers sad

4)MISCELLAENOUS: job opportunities-i studied civil engineer but I have fewer opportunities to prove myself as a good site engineer due to stereotypes

* intimidation- I was driving around Orile in Lagos when one lanky dude tried extorting money from me,merely because he felt I was weak/gentle not until I broke his nose did he realise I wasn't weak, had to spend N2500 on his treatment sad

Nairalanders please is there any sort cure for shortsightedness? I heard of many side-effects in relation to the laser option!


Life was horrible and agonising for me as result of my eyes problem(I always felt as if I was standing by dispensed tear gas carnister) until glasses was recommended and given to me.

The moment I put my glasses on for the first time, my life instantly changed forever

You are not in it alone; there are so many people like us out there.

However, I can't just imagine me without my glasses; o boy! heaven ll fall ooo

I sleep with my glasses on once in a while

Ladies have taken off my glasses couple of times while having sex

My ex girlfriends usually take or politely asked me to take off my glasses while smooching and kissing

People naturally see me as a gentleman either with glasses or not cos I have an innocent look but I m far from being a gentleman if I m provoked.

I don't have any regret wearing glasses so far

Short-sightedness. I try not to use it all the time but it's hard to do without it. Do you use glasses?
over reliance on it might b difficult 4u, and if u don't use it regularly it might not correct it as fast as it should be. I use glasses too. I suffer from astigmatism

All of you wearing glasses make sure you marry people that don't wear glasses...

With the grade of lenses you people are mentioning...

You people are competing with bats...

I've lost my eyesight for 20mins... It was unbelievable cos my eyes were open but everywhere was black...

I thought it was spiritual illusion..

I am astigmatic on one eye and short sighted on the other. I understand how you feel because I passed thru that phase. However, Mike is stubborn and he ditched his glasses by faith. I use my eyes well these days I drive without glasses, read without them, do my CAD designs, Nairaland and other online activities without them, I visit sites without them. I have faith you'll ditch your '2nd pair of eyes'
ditching the glasses?its since I was a kid 1993,if there's actually a cure i'll probably need a medical and a mental one,to ditch the glasses is close to impossible esp if there's no solution waiting

your ophthalmologist is wrong.. contact lenses are better for higher powers such as yours.. moving the CL to the corneal plane would reduce the convergence effect of the high minus on the visual system..
secondly, contact lenses would be more suitable if the powers are different with up to -1.50DS or contains cylinder power of up to -1.25DC, as the CL would reduce the chances of different image sizes in both eyes(anisometropia).. summary be say, CL is better for you.. go and get one from a reliable practitioner

I use glasses too(short sightedness) and I can relate to the misty fog part, all those other things you wrote are kinda alien to me, though people often see me as a geek/innocent of which I am btw, though not really socially awkward.grin

Though I don't like the many questions people often ask and the occasional 'sorry' and 'Eiyah' for my mind I always be like, "make una free me abeg"

Just following

We are the "Bad Guys" that prescribe the glasses. grin

Op :
1) U don't have much choices, stick with ur glasses.

2) Don't marry a lady who is also a myope. (shortsighted).

3) There is a tendency for u to have a kid with shortsightedness too. It can be inherited.

Lastly : I have this Cutie prettie Crush who is shortsighted too. grin

Maybe so: but his opthalmologist might be right though. Maybe he has an allergy, a bad tear break-up time or is even predisposed to keratitis- all bad news for a contact lens wearer.

I have read through your travails as a spectacle /c.lens wearer-As an optometry doctor-(optometrist),my advice is that you need a thorough eye examination/assessment,before throwing your glasses away.There are many options for you including orthokeratology etc.There are different types of myopia and treatment options.If you are interested in knowing more about your eye and use of corrective devices(ALL NL)-send your enquiry to:

It's not about the glasses; it's about you.

I don't believe the job opportunity part. Even blind people have jobs.

I use glasses and I've never been treated differently.

Do you use the geeky-albert-Einstein glasses with rounded rims or the funky-asha-on-fire ones?
I stopped wearing glasses myself after I almost lost a job because the HR taught it was too rough for my soft looks plus I can't wear glasses doing that kind of job. It was a factory kind of Job and I was being employed then as a graduate trainee.

After the interview, I decided to try contact lenses, this was in 2010 and ever since then I have never stopped. Wearing glasses comes with a lot of set backs, the nerdy thingy was one of my biggest challenge. I just couldn't mingle well with the kind of girls I wanted without looking like some nerdy guy whose social life revolves around computers and books.

Till this day, I still wear my glasses but only when I am in the house at night and want to read. Contact lenses are way better alternative once you get around it, the greatest challenge most people have with contact lenses is the fact that they can't properly place the lenses without getting a red eye in the end.... I mastered it the first time and never had to worry about a red eye.... I some times sleep with mine. I started with the classic brown and decided to go pure white because I just didn't need all the attention it was bringing plus I hate looking artificial.
OP, I think you should give contact lenses a chance...

Please go to eye foundation hospital either in Lagos or Abuja they are the best in Africa. They help restore the sight of my father perfectly. I must warn you on their prices though, its very ecpensive.
