    Specs vs Contacts

    Singapore has the highest percentage of ppl with myopia. Many of you need glasses or contact lens. But how much do you know abt wearing glasses or contact lens? I'm gonna drop the topic on lasik coz I haven't tried.
    I chose this photo coz I'm a Librian and I'm talking abt spectacles. Haha. However do you know that the nerdy pair of specs also has its own fashion? The current fashionable eye wear is shown in the photo below.

    I just went the optician again in 2 mths. The previous was to make a pair of new glasses. Today's trip was to adjust the glasses so that they'll fit onto my nose nicely. Since I was there at the same shop I visit since year back, I made my yearly supply of contact lens.

    My optician and I decided to be adventurous. After I "complained" abt being unable to see what's on the lecture screen, he said that perhaps he'll give me a pair of trial lens to try if an increase in the power of the lens would result in me feeling giddy.

    This is because I belong to the minority whereby perfect eyesight 6/6, is impossible to attain. Hence, even with glasses or contacts, my eyesight would only be corrected to abt 12/12 or 24/24. Plus my left eye has a 25 degree of astigmatism, which worsen my condition. My friends know I always can't see what's on the screen during lessons.


    He's really an experienced optician. Coz he advise that I increase only the power of my contacts for 1 side of my eyes. The best is to increase my right lens by 25 degrees. Coz when you wear contact lens, they're sticking right onto your eyeball swhile specs are at a distance away from your eyes. Thus you should have the power of your contact lens to be of a lower power, preferably 25 lesser.

    However after 500 degrees, lens would progressively increase by 50, from my previous 500. Here comes the problem coz I may be giddy. He double checked with my record for my specs and realised the right len on my new specs is 525 but I couldn't see clearly. Simply means the correct power might by 550 or 575. Since that's the case, he increased it by 50 degrees.

    Now I enjoy a better, crispier vision without feeling giddy. It was a clever treatment. I can see the road signs clearly for once! I really cherish good eyesight, and so must you!
