I became short-sighted when I was in Primary School. I thought nothing much of it and I remember being very excited because that meant that I could wear glasses! Back then, I have always envied my classmates whom wore glasses because its like a fashion statement. Everyone whom was short-sighted flaunted either a Bobdog or Snoopy spectacle frame.
It didn't occur to me how inconvenient glasses would be until I was in Secondary school when I was actively involved in my CCA, Red Cross which meant physical training and footdrill sessions.
