Freedom from Spectacles

I didnt have a inferior complexion or anything for wearing spectacles but there were quite a few disadvantages of wearing them especially for a person like me. Now that I am exicted to go for a lasik surgery... its a freedom from spectacles which I have been wearing for the last 14 years... almost half my life so far :)

Now coming to difficulties of wearing the spectacles
1. Searching for it daily in the morning especially at times when I am in hurry to go out
2. Fear of getting broken or damaged during over night travles because I am lazy to carry the box which can keep it safe
3. Driving Bikes during rainy season... ofcourse cars have wipers but when you are stuck somewhere in middle with bike .. you find it difficult when large drops of rain fall on your specs and hinder your driving
4. When you end up in a street fight.. the first thing that needs to be taken care is the spectacles... otherwise if the opponent hits one slap...your crizal lens and costly frame will go for a toss... (actually i have landed up in many such occassiona and tried to preserve them safely)
5. Constant maintenance and renewal charges... I have worn specs frame starting with the carbon frames of Rs 300 - Rs 5000.... and it will atleast require a change once in 2 years not because they look old but the eye power keeps changing constantly and the old frames go out of fashion... and always you require a backup if the main one gets damaged..
6. This will be appreciated by all those who were eye glassess.. the constant need to wipe the glassess from dirt, finger prints, dust..
7. The inability to wear cool sunglassess during summer... we can customize sunglassess with similar power... but again lazy to carry around two sets of glassess.
8. The difficulty in wearing a helmet... everytime you have to
a. remove your glass and
b. put the helment and then
c. wear the glass again...
and if there is a phone call while driving then
a. remove your glass and
d. remove the helmet and then
e. attend then phone
followed by b& c. A blue tooth or handsfree can avoid this abcde problem to some extent but again it is followed by difficulty of carrying so many gadgets... atleast without glassess it is only

wear the helmet, remove the helment, attend the call, drive the bike :-) simplified...

I have asked the doc for 2 months time to select best possible time to get the surgery done. Once its over... I hope to buy some cool sunglassess something like those ray ban or even better ones... and go for a nice long bike drive...
