See an Easier Life through Glasses

When somebody asks us which may be an important object that has changed our lives, we tend to think in the more complex, technological objects; it is understandable because we see them as the big changes. But, have you ever thought of a simpler element that has changed your life? I did it and, after only a few minutes of careful thinking, I found one: Glasses.

I don’t have to wear glasses yet—the overuse of my laptop will lead me to do it. However, I know how important they are for people who have vision problems. Glasses avoid being limited by a failure in a sense, and make life easier. Activities like reading or watching TV could be a torture without them. Taking as an example a university student’s life, think how difficult could be read what the professor wrote in the whiteboard. Glasses not only help to see better, but also to decrease the damage in the eye. Today, people can choose between glasses or contact lens; this is related with the esthetical aspect of the person, because for some people is very hard to wear them. In brief, glasses help us, protect the eyes and avoid potential damages. So, what could be your life without glasses (if you have to wear them)? What is better: contacts or glasses? Could we find another element that will play the role of the glasses in the coming years?
