Vision


I am not the owner of a perfect vision. Wear glasses since the age of 11,  and  probably will use for the rest of life. I do not bother so much more: after  six  years of wearing glasses you're bound to get used to. At first I liked, just because it was new. But after a while I was getting annoyed, because I realized that would be dependent on my glasses, probably to death, not have them on my face meant (and means) to see things so blurry, things not too far from me, and it irritated me.

Several times when I was on the way to school, I realized that I was without glasses, because he was drowsy and had barely opened his eyes right. And seen it? Miss stressed here back at home tapping their feet and constantly complaining. I can’t count how many glasses I destroyed for lack of care. In less than one year everyone was crooked, or without a leg, scratched, and sometimes even without a lens. It took until I can get along with one frame, until I found the one I use today, which have rods decorated with musical notes. It was love at first sight, and already have more than one year.
Over time, I was stopping to give much importance to it. Queries to the eye became normal, and there I was every six months. People often take the test once a year, but I have to do it twice because my vision is crazy and often changes dramatically in short intervals of time: sometimes increases, sometimes decreases, but is always changing.
I do not care anymore, because it is a family problem: my father uses three different glasses, my mother used one to four years old, my two grandmothers use, use my two grandfathers, aunts have used one of my uncles have used, my brother Rafael (I have three brothers, do not know if I've mentioned before: Raphael, Ian and Vinicius) uses ... Anyway, it's impossible to escape it. Thankfully, my problem is insurmountable, but the blind and do not have the possibility to improve vision even wearing glasses? When I get angry with my glasses, I remember the blind and thank you for not having a serious problem as well. After all, losing a sense it is like losing a body part.
I think the vision so important ... No more than the sensations, of course, but I think just as important. It is the vision that you hold in your mind unforgettable images, is the vision that you understand that certain facial expressions say it all without saying a word. Imagine the lives of the blind, as it should be difficult and incomplete in that respect ... It would be wonderful if the surgery had assurance of view of effectiveness, but has not. I'm sure one day will, as I doubt very much that the technology in medicine ceases to evolve. And then yes, these people can understand the world in ways different from what they are able. I hope so!
Value what you have. There is a lot of people wanting what you despise or claims, and it goes from five cents to the vision you have in your wallet.
