Contact Lenses
I always wanted to wear glasses.
I think it was because of the IIT JEE Toppers list that was released every year. About 95 of the top 100 rankers wore glasses. I think I formed an unconscious association between wearing glasses and doing well in the JEE.
So, after several faked headaches and doing artificially badly on an eye exam, I finally had glasses, albeit with a -0.25 prescription.
After trying the Brilliant Tutorials material for the JEE for about 2 days, I gave up on the IITs and settled for good ol' Pilani, but of course, my eyes got addicted to my glasses and my power gradually started increasing - To a point where I can hardly see things that are 10 feet away with my naked eye.
And after resisting contacts for a long time, I started using contacts about 2 months ago.
There are colored contact lenses to give your eye an artificial color - I wonder if it would be possible to create a contact lens that would automatically become "sunglasses" when you walk out into the sunshine - Similar to the glasses that change tint when sunlight falls on them..
