... than to lose your pair of eyeglasses.
this is a status I placed on my FB wall a few days ago. It is really better to love and lost than to lose your eyeglasses because you will have migraine headaches, stomach upset, and unable to 'read between the lines'.
There are many disadvantages of wearing a pair of specs that is not right for your visual acuity. I have the above manifestations and that is one reason why I did not log in here for the past several days. I can lot on the phone but it is still difficult to do so. I am also always tired from work. having 2 case colloquiums last week literally drained my energy climbing up and going downhill the school.
I had my vision checked last Saturday. I hope to get my new pair tomorrow.We have no duty today too because typhoon Carina had its landfall last night here in my place.
So, do you believe that loving and losing love is better than more important things in your life?

I couldn't compare love to my glasses lol! I just got my new progressive glasses actually. Still getting used to them but I don't really have to wear them all the time. My eye doctor recommended I wear them only when I'm using my computer such as now. I just discovered i have double vision and thanks to the new technology I don't have to wear bifocal glasses like what grandma's do lol!

@ridingbet my doctor didn't want me to wear doble vista glasses as she didn't want me to look old. Thus, the multi-focal lens. I like my progressive glasses as it allows me to see clearly from a far, helps me with my computer work, and the reading as well.

@toniganzon that was what the optometrist told me too, when i plan to use progressive glasses because i don't need to adjust my glasses in to reading near, far, and distant. but my ophthalmologist however said that progressive eyeglasses are not for me because my visual acuity does not yet fit in to these type of specs/

Right now I've lost three animal love ones last month and it was the most heart breaking thing I've ever experience. But I have no regret loving them, I guess the only regret for me now is not much focus on loving a person, except my family.

@Letranknight2015 oh, i am now knocking on wood, hijo. it is my lens that has the problem; i don't have glaucoma, trachoma, retinal detachment, or even cataract, so i believe i won't go blind.
is your mother blind now after losing her eyeglasses?

@SIMPLYD so, the specs from TGP are just all right for your lens, my lady? don't these alter your visual acuity, or increase/decrease the lens?
