Today had something different. I tried something new today. I went to school late as i had to bring my Grandma to the market. I so afraid that she might get into some accident or something... But as soon as i left her at the market, she felt like she belonged there. Maybe it is the elderly best place to get good and cheap groceries. I went to school soon after. Reached the place a little late, 40mins late to be exact. When i have settled down, i quickly setup my computer and started on my assigned work. It is just a minor job and i completed it very fast. After that, i just slack there and practically stared at my computer. I had an appointment to do some eye check. This time i had to try some lens. Hard lens. My friend checked my cornea to see whether is there any damage to it. After that, she left to find the hard lens. It was quite a long wait, so i sat on the chair and i fell asleep. Woken up by the lecturer there. Phew... Very embarrassing to be caught sleeping there. So she came over and looked at my eyes. She gave my friend some advice and asked her some questions. Asking her what should she do when she saw this. I have complete trust in my friend as i know she is a very hardworking and smart lady. I even made a pact with her, when we graduate from poly, she will be my personal eye doctor while i will help her in any IT problems she have. Today i tried something new... I tried a pair of hard lens. Wow... It was really an unforgettable experience. It was really bad at first. Cried as the eyes cannot get use to the lens. My friend cold hands helped me put on the lens. Took sometime for it to settle in. after 15mins, my eyes got used to it but i still have this irritant lens on my eye. Not really used to it. My friend even best, gave me a pair of special specs with removable lenses to wear. Asked me to read words on the wall. It felt really irritating, had to wear it for very long time. Man... Im a man of hard tears, and she is one lady dat made me cried like im a small baby. After that, she got her lecturer to come over and take a look at my eyes. Check if the lens fit my eyes. She said something of flat and steep. Not very sure what are they talking... So after awhile, my friend came back. She said something to me... 'The lens abit wrong ar. How bout this... I switch over and we check again.' Im like... !?!?! Huh?? What are you talking? Can you repeat that again in slow motion. I said, anything loh. But when she tried to take the lenses out, i tink my eyes is sensitive to it. I just can't seem to let her take it out with ease. She tried on my left and it caused a stinging pain. It was because the tip of the lens push against my cornea. It will take some time to let the cornea go back to usual shape, around 12 hours. It was difficult to put the lenses in. I realise that getting them out was almost the same or even more difficult. Cried somemore this time... Have this really painful stinging feeling. My friend kept apologising. She felt really bad to ask me to do this torturing tryout. Well... I volunteered and i trust her. So if im blind, i have to blame myself. Went home with a stinging eye.
'Hard lens cover the retina area, soft lens cover the entire cornea. That is why soft lens is more preferred.' When i heard that, i wanted to ask why did she gave me a pair of hard lens. But i kept it back as she just want to get experience of fitting a pair of hard lens. She is my future eye doctor. So using my youth, i will help her to complete her goal to become an eye specialist. This is the first time i met someone with an ambition to do something that is beyond what normal people like to do. Medical and Law. Both industry that only accept the hardworking and diligent students. I wish her all the best in her strive for being a medical specialist.
Hard or Soft...
