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
Yeah, I can't go a day without putting it on to do on thing or the other. The ironic thing is that they were actually meant to be reading glasses but I use it more in watching tv than reading.
I have a friend that has that too, something about blurred vision?

If I were u, I wldnt use it at all. I started with 1.5, now it's 3.5. Save urself while u still can
your right,great advice,since it's a mere 1.5 it's best he manages it,because by the time he starts putting on the glasses it only seems to make the matter worse

Using glasses come with a lot of challenges. I have been using it since 2002,I am on -3. I find it difficult to play football very well because of poor vision so I had to stop.As an engineer,
This poor vision has limited me from doing courses in Weding,fire fighting and some other fields.It has given me a kind of personality which I do not like.People see me differently from how I see my self.I had to change my style of dressing just to look a little bit tough. I only wear jeans and well starched shirt,I do not tuck-in my shirt for any reason. I have suffered a lot of reproach,I wish God could take away this burden frm me.

it's unfortunate really and it's really hurtful 'cause i've been asked that before,contacts lens can be inconveniencing but it's probably the best option during interviews

I wear glasses as well, but I make sure not to wear them all the time so I don't get over dependent to the point where I can't see without them.

I also made sure to get glasses that suit my face shape and skin/hair colour. They look good on me so I like wearing them.

Anyway, I'm looking to get laser eye surgery in a few years' time. Hopefully I can afford it then. You should consider it too if it bugs you so much.
I admire your teeth.

Op : You didn't talk about the part where you step into an exam hall and everyone feels you have all the answers to the question asked.

Mehn na so lecturer carry me go put for one hall with carry over engineering students (Fluid mechanics) , them nearly tear my paper feeling I had all the answers because I wore glasses. Only God know how many fail that day :O

One nice thing about the glasses , we are never picked as suspects in crime scenes :-D

I've told my doctor that I've been relying too much on the glasses and she said that's how it's supposed to be.
Sorry sad, eye problems can really be a pain especially when you're born with it. Were you born with yours?

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!


I feel your pain, I'm in similar shoes. People tend to think you as gentle and easy going just because you wear glasses.

If you come know book small you have confirmed their assertions

What ever you do, don't get laser eye surgery unless you are over 50

What OP mention is kinda true
I started with -0.50 .. I'm now using -1.5 I pray it doesn't get worse!! but I don't always have it on, sometimes I hang it on my head
Nice one.I was warned not to wear it always and I am coping.

Bros, am an Eye Doctor, dat suggestion doesn't really work. I understand wat u mean but d eye doesn't work dat way. If she/he reduces the usage, it gonna only increase d discomfort n blurring vision. It doesn't improve d eye.

The last time i remember seeing clearly with my eyes was in Pry 4. Using glasses aint easy i must confess. Mine is short sightedness with astigmatism. I wear glasses almost all d time (even while sleeping) to the extent dat i sometimes forget dat i have it on and will start looking for it. Even with dat, i atimes find it difficult to see clearly. Pratical classes nko? Viewing things under microscope aint easy.

Am short sighted like most of us here, I use my glass most of the time to the extent that I call it my wife, I realized one-day when I was still thinking like the op, that some people are actually blind and are wishing to have my type of sight, since then I have not thought about my lens as a discomfort. Thank God that you can see bro, he knows why he allowed us to be using lens wink
