My name is Ashley, I am 7 years old, and in grade 2. I love the looks of eyeglasses very much. My mother wears glasses , she looks so nice , her lenses seem to sparkle . Her eyes look so nice , I thinks she looks beautiful wearing glasses . I would like to have to wear glasses , just like my mother , and look just as beautiful.
There are two students in my class wearing glasses, but their lenses look so different than my mother s. The lenses seem to magnify , and make their eyes look larger. I asked my mother about the magnifying lenses. She told me there are different type of lenses . depending what your vision problem is. Some people have trouble seeing things far away, like I do , they are myopic and wear lenses that minify Other people have trouble seeing things that are close , like reading , and wear the glasses that magnify.
I hope that when I have to wear glasses , I will have the same type of lenses as in my mothers glasses.
I had an eye exam last year , the optometrist told me I have nice healthy eyes and don t need to wear glasses. He would like to have another look at my eyes in about a year. All he did was shine a light in my eyes , and had me read the letters below the big E. I am looking forward to my next eye exam , and hope he will tell me then that I need to wear glasses. I love eyeglasses.
Another girl in my class cam to school to day wearing glasses She told me she had trouble to read what was on the blackboard , and now wearing glasses , she can see everything far away nice and clear. She let me try her glasses , I noticed everything looking a little brighter , I loved the feel of the glasses on my face, and hated to give them back/ I was so jealous that she has glasses now , and with the type of lens I like.
At school I have noticed that more of the older students in grade 5 and 6 are now wearing glasses A lot of them wear the same type of lenses as in my mothers glasses, that she told me were for myopia I think that boys and girls who wear glasses look so much nicer, and more mature. Perhaps when I am a little older , I will be glasses like that, I can t wait
We went to see grandma . I could not believe my eyes when I saw her. She was wearing glasses with very strong lenses which made her eyes look very big. I felt like little Red Riding Hood and saw the wolf with the big eyes I asked her about the glasses, and told her what I thought she looked like. She laughed, and told me her eyes looked that big , because her prescription now is so much stronger. I can see much better now , and I like my new glasses.
When we went home , I was still thinking about the strong glasses grandma was wearing. I asked my mother , that when I looked at grandmas and your glasses, what can a person see when they are not wearing their glasses ? She explained to me that without wearing her glasses , sitting at home at the kitchen table , she would not be able to read the numbers or the letters on the calender hanging on the opposite wall.
When we came home , I sat down in the kitchen to look at the calender on the wall. The numbers looked a little fuzzy , but I could read the letters. I was dissapointed I could read the letters , now I knew I did not need glasses.
Before going into grade 4 , my mother had made an eye appointment for our annual eye exam. I was not very excited about going, every time it was the same . The optometrist would tell me that my eyes were healthy , and I did not need glasses. So what is the use going for another eye exam.
When we entered the optical store , my mother went in first for her exam. While waiting I walked around the store. With all those beautiful glasses frames on display, I could not resist trying some of the frames. The optician came over and suggested a frame that she thought would look good on me . I tried the frame , and when I looked at myself , could not believe how different I looked . I had never realized that wearing glasses would change my appearance that much, I liked that look.
When I had my eye exam , as usual the optometrist looked into my eyes with the bright light, Next I had to read the letters on the wall. I had no trouble with the first two lines , but ion the next line the letters were a little fuzzy ,, and I could hardly make out the next line. The next surprise came when the optometrist put what looked like a big pair of glasses in front of my eyes. I had to read the lines first with my right and then with my left eye. When I had trouble reading the letters , I would hear a few clicks and everything came into focus. Then he asked me which is better 1 or 2 and so on. The exam was so much more interesting than the ones I had before , I enjoyed it. When the optometrist was finished said , Ashley you are myopic and have some astigmatism and will need to wear glasses. I could not believe it , my wish fulfilled , I was going to wear glasses.
The optometrist than talked to my mother and told her I should wear glasses. She told me she was not surprised , she had noticed me squinting quite a bit lately. With my mothers help we selected a real nice looking frame.
When I got my new glasses and put them on could not believe the fantastic feeling of seeing everything so nice and clear. What a wonder full feeling. When I saw my face ina mirror , could not believe how different I looked , more grown up,. I sure like my new look. Both my parents told me how nice I now look wearing glasses. I am very proud of my glasses , I like the look and fell of them on my face. I am so happy.when I go back to school I can show everybody my new glasses.
The next Sunday we went for a visit to my dad s brother. I got all dressed up and proudly wore my new glasses. When we arrived at my uncle s place ,my aunt complimented me how nice I look wearing glasses, I don t think my uncle noticed them he never said a word. My aunt suggested I go and say hello to the boys they were in the T V room playing video games. Both boys are a little older than me.
When I entered the room ,they both looked at me.and then I heard. Ha, Ha, come and see miss Ashley 4 eyes , Look at the stupid glass she is wearing. We did not know you were blind Ashley. I ran out from the room in tears , took my glasses off and put them in my pocket. When my mother saw me she asked why I was not wearing my glasses. I told her they were hurting me behind my ears. Well we will have to get them adjusted. We left shortly after , and I was glad to get away from those bullies. On the way home I put my glasses back on and really appreciated my improved vision.
The following week ,it was back to school time. Going to school I was wearing my glasses , when I came closer to the school, I took my glasses off . I wanted to wear my new glasses, and show them off , but did not want to hear any remarks ,like I got from my nephews. When in my classroom , I noticed I could not see to well, and squinted so much I got a head ache. For the next week I did not wear my glasses in school, I was so afraid somebody would make a nasty remark. It all changed , when my class mate Kelley told everybody that she had an eye exam, and she will be wearing glasses now. I am picking my glasses up to day after school and will be wearing the tomorrow. Now I had the opportunity.so I told everyone , that I also would be wearing new glasses to morrow. So the next day at school both Kelley and I wore our glasses. Our class mates told both of us that they liked them , and a few wanted to try them. I was so happy there were no nasty comments, and now could enjoy wearing my glasses.
The next year when I had an eye exam , I had an increase in my prescription I liked the improved vision when i put on my new glasses. But it certainly was not as exciting as the improvement in my vision , when I put on my first pair of glasses, it was fantatic.
