Hi, I'm M20. From 2016 until now, I have been wearing prescription glasses. Noong una, my vision was not that bad naman, mild myopia and -1.5 lang grade of both my eyes. Pero as years go by, napapansin ko na palala nang palala 'yung grado ko. Parang ang bilis lang lumala kaya I am a little stressed din about it.

Ever since I had my eyes checked and was told that I needed to wear glasses regularly, araw-araw ko na suot prescription glasses ko. The only time na nagpapahinga mata ko from it is when I take a bath and when I go to sleep. Okay lang naman sa akin kasi it helps me rin to do what I need to do every day.

Ngayon, my vision is at R: -4.0 L: -3.75. I know na hindi naman ganun kalala pero to experience it firsthand sobrang stressful. Hindi ko kayang lumabas na walang salamin kasi I feel very vulnerable especially that I commute to school every day. But then, I sweat very easily kaya I have to remove my glasses to wipe it off properly. Sobrang nakaka-disorient lang do it nang paulit-ulit and nakakahilo at times. Minsan sinusubukan ko talaga na hindi magsuot ng salamin pero it just reminds me lang of how bad my vision is kasi mismong paa ko hindi ko na maaninag ng maayos kapag hindi ko gamit. Sumasakit pa ng sobra ulo ko when I don't wear it for a few hours.

I have considered wearing contact lenses kaso I'm hesitant kasi baka mairita mata ko and I'm afraid of having more problems with my vision. Even then, it's not an option for me because I don't remember how I look without glasses anymore. I don't think I like the way I look without it. Para akong hubad na ewan and it makes me very sad na I get these types of thoughts about myself pero I just can't help it.

To my fellow people with bad eyesight, I hope we get through our day just fine every day, kahit na sobrang hassle talaga sometimes.
