VISION

I got my first pair of glasses when I was 4 years old. I thought they were dead cool, just as the coolest guy among my mom's pupils whom I adored. The glasses had steel frames, enough said.

I never ever used my glasses all the time. Only when I read or stared at some kind of screen.

What's wrong with my eyes is a mystery. I never know what to say when people ask. Only thing I know is that it's different depending on what eye we're talking of. One needs a cokebottlebottom and the other a window - still neither makes any real difference to my sight. My vision isn't 20/20. It's closer to something/something, or in plain English: blurry. I'm used to it. It's always the same, my world is blurry with no sharp edges, as in "out of focus" or in dimlight romantic scenes...

All of this is now history. After seeing 2 specialists I got a nice prescription and I choosen a nice pair of frames that would make me look intelligent infront of the PC-screen at work.

A week later I picked them up. As I tried them on I soon became aware of the sharpness of everything. I took them off and put them in the brandnew hardcase, paid and left the store.
At home I tried them on again. I looked smart alright. But what was more stunning was the new world that opened up. I COULD SEE!! Everything looked SHARP. No matter how far or how close, it was CLEAR.

Nowadays I take my glasses on every morning. I've given compliments to my co-workes neat (but old) bags & clothings, seeing them for the first time. I don't have to guess what the roadsignes REALLY says or what bus is coming up.

Wanna have proof of what I've said is really true?
I've had my glasses on at gigs and I didn't have to be up in front of the guitarist to see if he's really playing or not!!!

Thank God for specialists!!!
