My quest for designing my life to be the best it can be has been an interesting one. I have delved into every aspect of being from my health and the way I dress to what I learn and who I surround myself with. One thing that I found which touched on multiple topics was my eyesight and the kind of glasses that I chose to wear. After feeling like I needed glasses for years, I finally took a deeper look into the topic and found that my life was greatly improved just for getting myself a pair. Here's how...
1.)Better Eye Health
Squinting to see things that were far away and straining my eyes were common occurrences for me. I always had this suspicion that I needed glasses and that my eyes might get worse if I didn't look into it. Yet, I let it go for way longer than I should have out of pure laziness. After visiting a doctor, I found out that glasses actually would be beneficial for not only seeing but also keeping my eyes healthy and working properly well into the future.
2.) Seeing Clearer
Armed with a quality pair of glasses, I was able to see the world around me much clearer than ever before. I felt like I could enjoy looking at the stars, artwork and even the faces of my friends much more than I ever had before. We are lucky to be able to see the beauty of the world around us at all and I felt this whole heartedly once I put the glasses on.
3.) Safer Driving
I drive a lot these days. I am always venturing off on day trips, taking excursions and running errands to places around my town. Not being able to see the road and signs properly made driving way more dangerous than it already is and was honestly very irresponsible of me. For the sake of my own safety and the other drivers around me, I started using my glasses when behind the wheel and feel much safer than I ever have before.
4.) Improved my Appearance
While some people may argue the exact opposite, I found that wearing glasses really improved my appearance. My eyes were no longer straining and squinting while I looked at things and I was even able to find a few stylish frames that enhanced my face. I had fun picking out different shapes and colors to match with outfits and even the style of my hair. Plus, I feel that they gave me the more scholarly look that I was going for.
5.) Saved me From The Sun
Included in my quest for better vision was protection from the sun. I had read that while the sun can harm your skin it can also harm your eyes if you don't keep them properly protected. I took this newly learned fact pretty seriously and made sure to invest in a quality pair of sunglasses as well. My eyes have never been happier.
Have you given much thought to your eyes? How could glasses be helping you?
