Nope definitely needed them. I could barely read the big E at the top of the chart! I love my glasses though :) It is amazing to finally see all of the details on everything!Anna (herding cats-burning soup)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17422129120413380189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2431713341560723218.post-20444079101640649762012-04-01T13:51:32.230-07:002012-04-01T13:51:32.230-07:00Stupid astigmatism!

There were no vision checks in my school growing up and it wasn't<br />until I was 14 and having lots of headaches that anyone bothered to check the vision. Surprise! You mean , really? you are supposed to be able to see what those black marks on the board are?

She was so enthralled by trees and their leaves, a fascination which persists. <br /><br />I too have an astigmatism that didn't crop up until much older. I was so against it, and then I got the glasses and I suddenly became a HiDef connoisseur.Renahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02767762370997304308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2431713341560723218.post-50627308731656470242012-04-01T12:16:47.937-07:002012-04-01T12:16:47.937-07:00Oh, I remember this feeling!

But when I had lasik surgery a few years ago, I read every street sign out loud to my husband for months. Kids definitely live with a sense of wonder that I (and most adults) don't have, but the magic of sight never went away.Iliadfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09493266923216940390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2431713341560723218.post-51492118885636043102012-04-01T12:14:22.762-07:002012-04-01T12:14:22.762-07:00When my sister got her first pair of glasses, she ...When my sister got her first pair of glasses, she commented to my mother that she never realized before that rain fell in drops.<br /><br />M.J.

Now I don't like not wearing them because I notice the blurriness that I was so sure wasn't there before I saw everything clearly!Laura Clipsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02748489198957473503noreply@blogger.com
