Glasses stupid, lasers stupid, lenses stupid: That's the solution!
There are these women who look particularly beautiful with glasses. Made it right. Elegant. I am not one of them. No matter what shape, glasses do not do any good for me. Round glasses make me the nerdy sister of Harry Potter, big to the nerd sister of Bill Gates and inconspicuous to the nerdy sister of the nerdy sister of the Obernerds. That's not nice. Also, I get superagrable when the glasses fog up as soon as you go into the house in winter. And then those grease stains and streaks ... Nah, glasses are really nothing for me.
Contact lenses are not friends
But there are alternatives. Contact lenses for example. I've tried them all. Euphorically I took the small boxes, repeatedly paid a small fortune and at the same time would like to have the glasses thrown so casually by me as the Chippendales their pants.
The daily lenses, the soft lenses, the hard lenses, in the end, we were all but no friends, although I had been looking forward to it. It always itched, pressed, annoyed, drink. And a Lasershow in the Elbtunnel you do not really enjoy as a motorist.
No, I do not want a knife in my eyes
At the information event on lasers, the senior physician stared at me dumbfounded when I asked him if I could see such a knife, with which one would like to work on my eye. He told me something minimally invasive, I only understood station and found that I'm just too cowardly for lasing. You can tell me so many times that there are no risks. How can I believe that, if I can not even look into a laser pointer? Oh, and that's pretty expensive too.
Why do not you say that right away?
When I was almost ready to make friends with my Harry Potter identity, it just happened. I was initiated into the mystery of secrets. People, hold on tight. No one tells it to you. But there is a solution for people like us: it's called orthokeratology. Jahaaa, never heard of it, right? To be precise, there are lenses that deform the cornea overnight by means of pressure so that you can see perfectly the next day, without any visual aid. Does that sound spooky? Is it somehow. The concept behind it is old. Even in ancient China, people put sandbags on their eyes so they could see better the next day. Now you will rightly say that these are also lenses. That's right. But is supposed to be different. Because overnight with closed eyelids the lenses do not disturb. The manufacturers promise full eyesight during the day. At least eight hours, then it can slowly get worse again.
The practice test
So I did it. For 150 euros you can try the fun for three months, then you should set for two years. With my usual enthusiasm I took my package and carried it home. Luckily, I practiced the insertion at the optician, because that's really not without. But when you close your eyes, you hardly notice anything anymore. The next day the big WOW. I can see! Without glasses! A few hours later, not again. "It's normal at the beginning," says the optician. "Pretty exhausting," I think. The next day, I wake up with an animal headache. I can still see it again. Had only been glad if I had known that the brain has to get used to it first. Then maybe I would have started on a day off. Well, the only advice I can give is: MAINTAIN. Because after a few days I actually belong to those who just see it that way. Without glasses. In the evening, I put the lenses on for a short while, sleep, take them out and almost forgot that I'm a blind chicken.
Ergo?
Clear recommendation, if you are a Schisser and glasses do not like. You really do not need them anymore. The lenses are not suitable for every eye, but in many problems such as slight astigmatism or far and nearsightedness to about five diopters, the "Dreamlenses" work flawlessly. Even progressive lenses can allegedly make them unnecessary. Although the cornea completely recovers to its starting point within a few days of lens weaning, studies have shown that it prevents deterioration, especially in children. In any case, as a blind fish with glasses phobia, I'm glad that I found the night-lentils. Even if they are expensive and in the evening sometimes a little annoying. In any case, I no longer have to dream of minimal invasions. And Harry Potter is supposed to damn well look for another sister!
