How many of you change eyeglasses like you change your clothes? Most people normally change their eyeglasses every 12 to 24 months but it all depends on how bad one's eyesight has become. If you spend a lot of time on the computer, the need to change your eyeglasses sooner is highly likely.
It's the accepted norm to undergo a routine annual eye check, but I tend to go only when I notice I can't see clearly with my eyeglasses. I know it's bad but I'm trying to max out the lifespan of my eyeglasses :) Prescription eyeglasses are not cheap these days, I had mine changed recently and it cost me close to RM300! And it wasn't even designer eye-wear.
If you need new prescription eyeglasses and you don't have much to spare, have a look at these eyeglasses available at Zenni Optical. All at only $8.00! Yes, $8.00 is all it cost for basic prescription eyeglasses which include :~
*High quality stylish frame

Check out this frame #3390 in Tortoise shell color. Looks pretty neat, huh :) It's also available in Black/Scarlet and Burgundy Top/Gradient to Pink bottom colors.
same here, me also tend to max the lifespan of my spec. Your post remind me to go for eye check. LOL
ReplyDeleteI'm even worse. I really need glasses but am too darn vain to get a pair ... hehehe ... See la, maybe one day when I really can't tell the difference between a cow and a sumo wrestler then I think it's time to check my eyes out ... hehehe ...
ReplyDeleteHi Nessa, I noticed you are a 'Leo'? If nothing better to do pop over my place. You have a nice day, Lee.
ReplyDeletebefore i was a kid, i don't know why i wish to wear a glasses as i always try my cousin's glasses until when i was form 1, that will be the day i'm using glasses and now i know..it was really hard to use a glasses and how i wish my eyes vision is good. now, i don't use glasses but i use contact lens.but i guess using contact lens can make your eyes degree become lesser to increase. since i was form 6 until now.. my contact lense degree is 500(left),550(right)until today and no increase.. but hey that is still higher..hehhe

ReplyDeleteI noticed a lot of students start wearing glasses as early as 3 or four. What a pity! Ness, what is your point? How do you protect your children on this issue?
