Yep. At the time, I was more self conscious and refused to wear glasses. Since my mom threatened not to replace them and force me to wear my glasses if something happened to them, I opted to not tell her and pretend that they were fine. My eye doctor was surprised when my eyes got considerably worse within a years span. Now if I lost them, it wouldn't be a big deal. However, I'm so active and hyper, that glasses would not work for me anyway.
