It's nice to see a thread like this for us shortsighted people. I've always wanted to ask this question just incase we have any ophthalmologist in this thread... is it possible to be born shortsighted? Does looking too close to those old school box TVs cause myopia? For all I can remember, I grew up shortsighted, I repeated KG2 because of my sight. I started using glasses in primary one up until SS2. In my school then, you were expected to be a nerd if you wore glasses so during exams, the below average students hustle the life out of you to get some expo. I somehow got tired of that and I used to have pain at the back of my ears from always wearing glasses so I opted for contacts.The day I wore contacts to school for the first time, I'll never forget that day, I told my classmates I could see clearly without my glasses, they said I was wining them, blind battimeaus like me. They decided to test me, I stood at one end of the class while another classmate of mine threw a pen my way, if you see the jubilation when I caught the pen, battimeaus wasn't blind anymore. Ive been using contacts ever since, I'm 33 now and my refractive index is -9. It's not been an easy road but at it's best, I've enjoyed using contacts. Along the line, carelessness has cost me a few. I've suffered from ulcer of the cornea, bacterial and fungal infections, inflammation of the conjunctival sac and lots more. I was lucky when I had ulcer of the cornea, I ran to the best ophthalmologists office and she saved my eyes at the nice of time and my vision was pure white for days before it started clearing up. I would do lasik someday but definitely not in Naija, Nepa is not to be trusted.

I am a -10. Used glasses all my life. MY lens are very thick that even the ultra thin lens is not so thin. Thank God for contact lenses. Just that my prescription is very scare and expensive.

Dear all,

I really need an advice. I currently work with one of the Nigerian banks. My monthly take home is about 450k and quite good. My major problem right now is that I have just been transferred from a Branch at one end of Lagos to another end of Lagos. All efforts to convince my boss to deploy me to a closer branch has proved abortive.

Going to work daily right now is a very difficult especially during this raining season and covid 19th period. I spend roughly 3-4 hours on the road when going to work and back home.

I am currently raising my kids on my own right now and dont know how I would manage when school resumes. Before now I drop them off on my way to work in the morning and my friend picks them up to her house in the afternoon till I get back.

I currently have a savings of 2million and would love to start a biz( I dont know what kind) as am comptemplating resigning and start a biz instead so that I can have time for my kids and not die due to stress

Please i really need advice for you all.
