Op,, you can actually turn these "misfortunes" to some sorta class acts, oh yes you can!.. I'll break these your problems down, using my own life experience.... 1)SPORTING DRAWBACKS:,, People consider me as one of the greatest playmakers that never went professional,, what I lack in speed, I more than made up in skills, passing ability, ball control and dead ball conversion... All these are despite having a sight so bad that I can only identify my teammates by our Jersey color, lolz.... 2)ROMANTIC DRAWBACKS.... The thing is you've got to wear your lenses with such style and perfect dress sense that'll draw chics to you like magnet..... 3)INTIMIDATION... Exercise regularly,, visit the gym, wear nice fitting clothes that'll accentuate your features, and then learn any of the combat sports if you've got the time... Them no born you well to think you can intimidate me coz of my lenses... My 'I don't care two hoots' walking step, muscular build, 2nd Dan black belt in taekwondo, and pH pidgin accent give me the edge!.... The lens is the only thing that'll give you a clue about my profession, and I hate it for that!

But in my case I still had headaches. Aches on the bridge between my eyes (not caused by the seat of the glass), also headache ran thru my forehead from the eye ridge and behind my ears.
I'll advise you schedule to see your optometrist for another test.. You shouldn't feel discomfort with your spectacles

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?
depends on the nature of the job your gunning for,trying applying for a military personnel or a site engineer(my part-discipline) and you'll know what i'm saying,i've resorted to desk jobs though

I jst got them, the doctor said it is normal for beginners
Are you short sighted or far sighted?
Were you having headaches before the glasses?
Are u highly sensitive to light?
Again it's better you revisit your Doctor & clearly lay out your complaints.. The glass should take stress away from the eyes thereby causing relief & not otherwise

very true.. allergy most often.. TBUT these days is ignored by many of these girls fixing cosmetic CLs

I know right? Plus with all those fake eyelashes+ caked up makeup, they brew a perfect environment for bacteria which comes along with keratitis and conjunctivitis!

You really know your onions though-are you an eye specialist?

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!
oga tell me more story. keep on with your lies

Guy I was in the same shoes as well, I studied mechanical engine and was going to work with plastic molding machines in a factory, the HR guy almost thought I couldn't do the job until I showed up for the second interview without my glasses. He kept on commenting like my glasses were going to hinder me from doing that kind of job.
I have been wearing contact lenses since 2010,i wear the colourless one and trust me, nobody knows in my present job that I wear contact except for a lady who also wears contact as me. I even had to switch my career because of it..... I am now an I.T guy, imagine... Lol

The engine grease just wont rub out : no matter how hard i try! grin

Anyways....

Does the headache go as soon as you remove the glasses?

Where did you get your glasses? How long have you been wearing them?

Looks like there might be an error in your prescription- spectacles arent supposed to come with headaches.

First got my glasses in 2010 in New Delhi from Primus Hospital, I changed the lens in 2013 in Kubwa General hospital where I requested for a photo sensitive type lens.
The aches diminishes after some minutes of removal, say 15-30minutes.

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[b] (anisometropia)[\b] or contains cylinder power of up to -1.25DC, as the CL would reduce the chances of different image sizes in both eyes[b](aniseikonia)[\b] .. summary be say, CL is better for you.. go and get one from a reliable practitioner

Oh yes, we are coming from the same perspective, was just adding to your post-didnt mean to sound sarcastic at all. I was actually complementing the extent of your knoledge as far as the eye is concerned.

So i ask again, are you an eye specialist?.

Yep, sounds like a bad prescription. I wear photos myself and have no problems so far. See your eye doc and let him do a comprehensive diagnosis ( refraction, binocular vision-the works!!) and let him prescribe another for you.

Good luck!!
Re: Lamentations Of A Glasses/contact Lens User by Nobody: 8:51pm On May 03, 2015
In all honesty, the dude is right especially with the ladies and every other person seeing you as weak..... I had to get customised sports frames so I could play soccer effectively back in High school....I put off the glasses for a while coz the girls ain't giving me a second look amd now I can't see the girls giving me any looks. You fon't see the traffic warden's hand movement and you end up speaking all the english you know after unintentionally beating the traffic (they wear white gloves these days which makes it easier)
.........worst of all, People will call you a snub for allegedly ignoring them but in truth, You really didn't see them....

started with single lens, I was told it will correct it o, b4 I know I don graduate to cylinder lens, now na old papa lens, the one for sight and the one for reading under, though I try not to use it always, there was one time that I removed it for some few seconds and put it on again, I didn't remember then I started looking for it, searching everywhere my colleague thought I was crazy. I have been to the hospital at ago-iwoye b4, it's one of the best. If you want to go there sleep over then wake up very early and go collect number cause of the number of people that comes there.
