The day when I stopped wearing glasses

A page from the personal diary of Megha Gupta In 1994 when I was in class 4 I started wearing glasses and I had a very high number and it kept on increasing. I used to wear them till 1998, after that I started wearing lenses for 16 years. I wore them but the number continued to increase. One day I heard about an eye laser treatment through a friend of mine who had gone for it and I too decided to try it but somehow it took me a long time to go for the treatment as I was doing Main Teri Parchain Hoon, a daily soap and was also shooting for Nach Baliye. Since that was a daily soap and we didn’t have any bank of episodes I was waiting for the show to end as I knew I wouldn’t be able to take adequate rest after the treatment. As soon as the show went off air I went for my treatment, after which I was so happy to see everything clearly without spectacles or lenses and the very next day I went to watch two movies, back to back, which I couldn’t do due to my hectic shoot schedules. It was one of the biggest pleasures in my life rather than getting a house or a car. Now I don’t have to wake up and search for my glasses at my bed side! I can see everything clearly. Earlier I used to watch TV less but now I can watch two movies one after the other. Now, I don’t wear numbered lenses but I end up wearing coloured lenses, which I love to wear.
