Hard-Lenses

I surely have changed physically a lot this holiday. For one thing, I'm tanned because I had swimming lessons and I go swimming occasionally, I've said good-bye to my old braces ( and hi for my retainer),  I've gained more weight (yeah! simply no complain for that :), I'm taller, I have more pimples ( oh well, it's a part of growing up, isn't it?), and, I'm going to get rid of my glasses.

About a week or two weeks ago, my mum accompanied me to have an appointment with an ophthalmologist to discuss the possibility of me wearing lens instead of glasses. The doctor said I cannot wear soft lenses because I have dry eyes syndrome but otherwise hard-lenses were okay for me.

The doctor told me to try a pair of hard lenses and so I did. It turned out that hard lenses are smaller than the soft ones so they only cover your pupils. It was quite easy to put them on, but man, was it uncomfortable! It felt like something was stuck to your eyes and you cannot rub them off.  My eyes went watery and red, but fortunately after about five minutes or so, I felt a bit better.

Ten minutes later, the doctor checked how my eyes were coping with the hard lenses. She said that those lenses suit me and she explained to me that a pair of hard lenses can be used for about two or three years. And because this type of lenses were designed so that oxygen can flow through them, you can wear them 30 days straight without taking them off. Other benefit from wearing hard lenses is they slow down your near sightedness progression ( mind you, I'm fifteen, and I have minus 7 eyes). But you need to be careful not to rub your eyes when you're wearing them.

At last, here I am, waiting for the shipment of my lenses. I'll update my progress with you, see you later guys!
