I've worn glasses since I was 3 years old.
I had eye surgery at 10 months, and another surgery when I was 7 or 8 (it was after Star Wars came out, I know that because I picked item I could take home from Children's Hospital, where I had the surgery, was a Star Wars poster you could color in). For 3 1/2 years, from August 20, 1982, til mid-March 1986 (otherwise known as my 7th, 8th, 9th and most of 10th grade years), I didn't have to wear glasses at all.
But now I'm stuck with them (or my contacts) again. I went from being extremely farsighted to being nearsighted...
Was this the army that invaded your country, ma'am? No, officer, they were taller than that...
How about this one? I'm not sure--get them to march up and down a bit...
