We all tell ourselves this. “My vision is fine. I just need more light. Or bigger text. Or a magnifying glass.” That’s the denial speaking.
Your eyes don’t suddenly go bad; they degrade like a slow leak in a bicycle tyre. One day you’re riding fine, the next you’re wondering why everyone’s face is a blur.
The funniest part? When you finally get that free test, and the optician puts the trial lenses on, you’ll look around and gasp, “Oh, so that’s what trees look like!” It’s a religious experience, but cheaper.
