Nearsightedness is when the eyes focus incorrectly, making distant objects appear blurred.
Farsightedness is difficulty seeing objects that are nearby.
So to correctly establish what I am about to write, my Honeypie was diagnosed with nearsightedness and was given a prescription to get eyeglasses, and until he gets it, he shouldn't be allowed to drive especially at night. The prescription was issued way before I came here in the US though, and we got Honey's eyeglasses before Christmas. So, actually, this is a delayed story but I so want it to be posted here! This one is cute, I promise!
Eyeglasses is expensive in here, or actually, everything that involves getting a consultation from a doctor is expensive! We went to the mall right after or before Black Friday to search for eyeglasses on sale, the cheapest was like $180, and it wasn't Honey's type of frame at all, plus the cost does not include the lenses yet. In the Philippines, you could get an eyeglasses starting from $10, and that is already a decent eyeglasses in there. So right then and there I suggested that maybe we could just buy a frame from the department store and just have the lenses changed at the vision shop, and, unexpectedly, the meticulous sir that is my Honey was cool with it! So here goes the $10 frame...
Cute glasses isn't it? That was exactly the frame that best fits the shape of his face, and I chose it for him. I like it when pink becomes his thing sometimes, it is really cool and clean and yummy, and I don't quite know how to explain that haha! We brought the frame in the vision shop and we chose the lenses. Since Honey needs the glasses for night driving, he was recommended an anti-glare lenses that comes with a special feature. That special feature is all about the color transition of the lenses, for instance the lenses are darker during the day so its like it also functions as sunglasses, and during the night, the lenses are clear and just perfect for night driving. The lenses by the way costs around $180 but its all good since we already went practical with the frame.
For almost a month the glasses came without its proper clothing, it went nude because it didn't come with a hard case since we just picked it from the department store. We decided to buy it its case so we could protect it from scratches, and we finally bought the case on Christmas day, the first hard case that we saw was what we bought... and here it is:
Yes a hello kitty hard case!!! This one was Honey's preference! The design was actually like a little edition of a satchel bag for little girls, but we had to cut the handle to make it more convenient and appropriate for a big man to use. I regret that I didn't take a photo of it when it was still in its original form.
At the moment, Honey also uses his eyeglasses when watching TV. The distance is like 2 meters away from the TV and he says his vision renders blurry images already. At the moment also, Honey is using the eyeglasses during daytime when he is driving, lately, he noticed his vision requires him to use it also during daytime. The eye condition is not improving here. He is planning to get a lasik sometime. Now I remember we should list the lasik surgery in our goals too.
