It might be just the desire to wear glasses, when you are refused glasses.<br /><br />From very, very young (approx 6 yrs old) I had the desire to wear glasses, and year per year I had an eye test, with above average results, and so my parents wouldn't buy glasses, not even permit the wearing of Grandma's old glasses "as they might damage the eye".<br /><br />Only 12 years later, more independent at university, I could get glasses (the first ones from bus company lost property offices auction) and tell my parents, that I had been to the eye doctor's. <br /><br />I then tried misleading the eye doctor, and eventually was able simulating a -1,75/cyl +1,00 on both eyes (at 045/135 degrees respectively), but once in lifetime only. <br /><br />This 'inducing myopia' was not successful with me. With the next eye exam the doctor murmured 'never seen eyes like these' and went on with those accomodation-paralizing drops, and, .. ooops, and found out about a hyperopia (!) with R +2,00/cyl-1,00 and L+1,50/cyl-0,50, axes now 70 degr. right eye and 140 dgr. left eye. <br /><br />I was so happy (27 yrs then) and from that day became a permanent wearer of glasses always a bit tricking up and down the ladder.<br /><br />However, I always enjoyed playing with GOC, and have a good collection of plus and minus fitted frames and adequate contacts. <br /><br />Within a small corridor, I can 'play' without people in te office or classroom noticing that. When I'm travelling, the greater experiences are coming (I am now permanent on R +4,00/-2,00 and L +3,50/-1,50 and enjoy that) e.g. R+9,50 etc on -6,00 contacts. <br /><br />I am also curious about the vision of nearsighted men and women, but Plus-CLs are very difficult to buy. When I'm buying +8,00s, that is the maximum for a reasonable price, my hyperopia + accomodation deficit are "eating" already 4, 5, or 6 D of the total of +8.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
