Nana started contact lenses when she was in her primary school. She got quite blind and trying to spin and jump in the ice rink with her glasses was almost impossible. I remembered bringing her to the usual optical shop and seeing her trying to wear those contact lenses. At some point, I had to suppress yelling at her to stop blinking and jabbed those contact lenses onto her eyeballs. Lol. She still had problems in the initial days but now, she is a pro and wears her contact lenses to school every day.
A few years after jiejie tried contact lenses, I asked Zaky if he would like to try too so that he can play his sports safely. He rejected me flat bcos glasses are so much more convenient to wear. Sure, I can save some money too.
Fast forward to today and the teenager had mentioned a couple of times if he should try contact lenses instead. Why? #vainpot Hoho.
Last week, he broke his glasses when some ball smashed into the side of his head. His contact lenses journey has been accelerated. We still got his glasses repaired; we bought this pair just in March 2024. We found new spectacle frame that can thankfully take his expensive existing Hoya lenses.
He was taught how to wear the contact lenses. I thought he would take a long time like jiejie.
Zaky is surprising a pro too! He props the lenses into his eyes with 1 try.
He also managed to take them out and then put them back without the slightest difficulty. I suspect that it is bcos his eyes can be pry wide open.
No glasses!
Zaky had wore contact lenses to school the past week but in the initial days, they didn’t last long. He rubs his eyes and rubs off the lenses. Zzzz… that is very expensive eye rubbing. However, he got better and wore them the whole day today.
It is time to find cheaper lenses somewhere. Growing teenagers are expensive.
