But I had a thought a while ago:
" Some people can see without any kind of assistance "
Have you ever had a thought that makes you evaluate your existence?
This was one of those thoughts for me. The fact that someone does not need a frame on their face or a tiny piece of Hydrogels on top of their eyeballs hit me very hard.
It just seems like sight is the most taken-for-granted sense! Or it is to me because I've not really had enough of it.
I've gotten so used to wearing glasses that I can't stand the sight of myself without my frames! Its one of my very large home comforts and people rarely see me without them on! Even so I would trade my frames for 'perfect' eyes in a heart beat.
Something else that I don't quite get is why glasses aren't free. I mean, I didn't choose to have poor eyesight. Surely I shouldn't have to fork out anywhere between £50 to £100 every year because my proscription changes. Maybe I'll add that to my list of policies for when I run for Prime Minister (yeah right).
