Eye Check-up

Today, our company conducted a free eye check-up for us employees. In the end of the check-up, you could avail a pair of eyeglasses which would paid in installment and will just be deducted to your salary. I heard that a few got their eyeglasses.

I was diagnosed with astigmatism which I am already aware of because I went to an optometrist before. I was adviced to use corrective eyeglasses but i refused. I have this perception that once you have used an eyeglass, there is no turning back and you would wear them for the rest of your life.

Since college, i have been in front of the computer for about 20 hours a day. Me and my friends would be in the computer shop just to play Ragnarok, MU and counterstrike. Added to these were the computer asssignments like programs and researches that have to be done. And now that I am working, the only time that my eyes could take a rest is when I travel, take a bath and sleep. Talking about too much hardwork, if only my eyes could scold me, I would have been nagged by it in every minute that i'll be in front of the computer.

After series of health melt down, I slowly started to take care of my eyes and myself. I see to eat that I am an arm-length away from the monitor and my eye-level is higher than it. I eat fruits frequently lately. The only thing that I couldn't follow is to drink a lot of water. I always forgot to.

I'll be going to a family friend optometrist to have a check-up. Maybe I'll try on November when hopefully I'll have an extra money.

As much as possible, I don't want to wear any eyeglasses

PS the optometrists were tall and good-looking hehe
