I am wearing a spectacle

I still remember one of my lecturer at College saying “People who wears spectacles are intelligent.” And he asked one IQ to a girl with spectacle. Amazingly, she got the answer right. 

“Wow! Could it be true? True that people with spectacle is intelligent?” I wondered inside, adoring her intelligence. 

Since then, I used to give extra time in understanding people with spectacles especially the smaller children and the students. Whenever I see the student with spectacle, I understand them as the most hardworking and the intelligent one. 

But now, my stupid believe is gradually changing. Ofcorse, to certain extent, it may be right because the eyes get defected when focused more on books and screens. But the real reason why a person wears spectacles is following the repeated health discomforts. 

For almost a year from now, I used to get headache but not even once, I didn't doubt that the headache would be associated with my eyes problem. I just thought like my blood pressure is high. So, I am getting headache. For some months, I even controlled the fatty and salty diets even though i look like a skeleton outside. But the headache remains the same. 

Lately, I went to see a doctor. Directly, I wanted to have my blood pressure checked. But the result came out normal. I inquired what the problem could be. And the doctor suggested me to go and see the eye test.

“Eye test?” I felt bit embarrassed. “My eyes are fine.” I murmured to myself.

Still then, as directed, I was in the eye unit. There, I was made to identify the numeric from a screen adjusted to a certain distance. The size of the numeric is decreasing in each level. I could read clearly till the fourth level but not beyond. 

After that test, the eye specialist recommended me to wear a spectacle. He gave me the power subscribes. I just nodded before him. However, I didn’t want to wear spectacles. So, I avoided it. But the headache continued. Merely, after two months, the headache became severe. I went to see the doctor again. I again had the eye test done. 

This time, I was ready to wear it because I asked my mother and she said me ‘it is possible to have our eyes defected because you have been studying and you have been with the books and since very young.’

Miraculously, my vision is better now. And the headache has subsided a lot. But the intelligence in me, I doubt!
