When I shyly asked her about her dark lens in her glasses and the while cane she unfolded to my surprise, she smiled and simply said: "It is all about attitude. I mean positive attitude." From that moment, I admired her.

New glasses

 She bought glasses with a new type of lenses. The optician told her that the lenses would not be as thick as her old glasses had been. Little did she know how small the bowls in the centres of the lenses will be. She has two options now. Either wear the old pair with 2 cm thick lenses or wear the new ones with small circles. The first moment she saw herself was a shock.

Left eye covered

 She is used to wearing hair over her left eye because she can recognize only light and darkness with this eye. The left eye also turns to the inner corner, especially when she is tired. So, she hides it under her beautiful raven black hair. Although her glasses have identical lenses fitted, she is virtually oneeyed most of her life.
