It's me, HYZYD!

Wearing spectacles are cosmetically unappealing for me. There is a degree of distortion when looking through the periphery of the glasses, the field of vision is reduced and on leaving a cold room, moisture can fog the glasses and blur vision for a few minutes...It's such a hassle for me. That's why I stopped wearing my eyeglasses for quite some time now. Contact lenses? I'm afraid of infection! I can't imagine myself insering and removing my contact lens evey now and then.
