Who needs their vision anyway? (Sorry, this turned into a rant in the second part.) I really shouldn't be posting this. I could probably be fired. But it's such a ridiculous situation, I can't resist. I sell eye glasses and contact lenses. We do have doctors on staff. I am not one of them. There's a certain patient (maybe 5'3", at least 250 lbs) who's elderly, has diabetes, and cakes on so much makeup that it's been getting under her contact lenses, behind her eyes, and has caused permanent damage. Her doctor refuses to prescribe any contacts anymore because it will blind her. She keeps coming in, trying to get those contacts though. I just want all the lurkers to realize that the pile of makeup they wear every day to contour themselves into higher self esteem aren't only doing damage to their skin and reputation. There could be a lot of other problems you're causing for yourself. You don't realize what a blessing youth is until it's gone. You won't be "perfect health" anymore, you won't be able to jump for a single photo and call yourself athletic, you won't be able to eat a ton of crap and just feel stuffed (have fun with all those digestive problems you think TUMS will fix). Even if you make it past 40, you won't be able to live without assistance and constant pain. You will be nothing but a burden for everyone in your country, and it will be a relief for everyone when you die. They might feel genuinely sad, but they'll probably feel worse about the fact that you never got to turn your life around and really LIVE. "She was so sweet, she always had a complement for everyone" doesn't begin to make up for the costs to healthcare, the efforts hospitals will have to go through to keep you alive when your body gives up, and the environmental impact of you and what it costs to build things to feed and accommodate you. It's like you're intentionally ruining everyone else's future and then hitting eject.
