One of the most beautiful things.

I was in fourth grade when I got glasses, and already my eyesight was bad enough that I got headaches and was dizzy when I wore the lenses. It took months before my mother could make me get used to them.

It could be worse. I can read up close with my glasses off. And my eye sight hasn't really gotten any worse since high school.

I'd definitely have more problems with my life if I didn't have glasses. I couldn't drive. I'd not have had nearly as easy of a time with school.

Imagine if you were so poor you couldn't afford the cheapest frames, and even if you weren't, there simply wasn't a lenscrafters in town. Or a walmart eyewear emporium. Or an eyedoctor in the mall. Or anyone else who could make and sell you glasses.

Then imagine someone let you make your own glasses.

Your life would be totally different.

This is an awesome, awesome thing that needs to be funded and supported. This will change lives.
