I got my first pair of prescription glasses when I was in Grade 4 in primary school because I had congenital amblyopia. So glasses have accompanied me for nearly 10 years. During this time, my attitude towards eye glasses has changed greatly and this change has a profound influence on my future life.
Frankly, though the prescription eyeglasses provided me an opportunity to see the world clearly, I did not really like them when I was a little girl.
Some old people often say it is admiring for someone to wear eyeglasses for the reason that only cultured persons have them.
However, I did not agree with them since glasses have brought a series of troubles to me.
I always felt shamed and even annoyed when the classmates called me “Little Glasses” when I was a child. The glasses on my nose made me different from other children. It was not my fault, anyway. The decline of my eyesight was mostly caused by heredity.
Every time I looked myself in a mirror, I blamed the glasses for blocking out my crystalline eyes. As a little girl, how urged was I to be praised for my bright eyes. But they usually ignored this and paid attention to my glasses.
In fact, apart from my own opinion on glasses, they are really inconvenient. Take a small thing as an example. In winter, no sooner do you get in a warm room from the cold outside than the steam will soon cover the glasses and nothing you can see.
But who can help? I can not leave my glasses. Once I considered wearing contact lenses or even carrying out an eyesight recover operation, whereas, both of them took a risk.
Everything seemed to go bright after an open-heart talk with my mom. It was a walk after dinner. I asked mom why it was so unfair that I have to wear glasses. She let me watch the moon in the sky. I raised my head and saw the moon was wounded by thin clouds. Then mom softly said to me:“How do people find the clouded moon?” I thought for a while and said：“It was varied. Some people may think it is a pity not to see a bright moon while others appreciate the obscurity the cloud brings.”
She smiled: “Yes, you are right. Not everything is perfect, like the obscure moon. But if you try to bring out the best in your heart, you will find the world is beautiful, including yourself.”
Oh. It was not the glasses that bothered me. It was the negativity in my mind that created trouble.
From then on, I realized that wearing glasses was not a shame and there was no need to complain about it. Sometimes I thought the glasses-wearing girl in the mirror is very cute.
As time goes by, I grow up and find a group of young people are fond of glasses with original style. They show their characteristics through individual glasses and surge a tendency to wearing glasses.
Now, every time I pick up my prescription glasses, mom’s words will come to my mind. And I always felt very confident to face every challenge in my life.
