Hate Glasses?

I did not enjoy wearing glasses. Growing up and even going through university, I only wore my glasses when I was completing an assignment or needed to look at the lecture slides. Rarely, despite my high prescription, did I willingly put on my Pacific Mall glasses and walk out the door as a daily necessity… until I began working at Insight.

How I saw the world:

Pacific Mall…

Truth be told, I did not like wearing glasses because they made me feel flawed and this insecurity overpowered a logical need to see clearly. I grew up thinking that glasses only came from Pacific Mall, the largest Asian mall in North America, where my mother would take me every two years to buy me a pair of glasses that always fell down my nose. I dreaded those long trips and felt it unnecessary to upgrade a pair of too-small plastic frames to another pair of plastic frames that looked pretty similar.

Hello, Eyewear.

When I began working at Insight, it was like getting a crash course on handcrafted and stylish eyewear fashion from years of looking at mass produced ill-fitting frames. I put on my first Mykita and I was hooked. About a month ago, I slowly started wearing my glasses out in public more and even wore them hiking in Point Pelee. When my partner and I finally reached the water at the end of the trail, I almost teared up at the sight of the sparkling clear water and how crisp everything looked. Now I am finally embracing my four eyes and enjoying a world of well fitted and fashionable eyewear.
