Unveiling the Hidden Stories Behind Glasses: A Riveting Review by Adam Geczy
As an almost-lifelong wearer of glasses, whose lenses and frames come at a not insubstantial cost, and for whom glasses are considered jewelry for the face, I had hoped for more of the author’s personal story. We are told that at four, Geczy was diagnosed with monocular dominance, where one eye does all the work, and he endured surgeries, patches, and, of course, glasses. He describes how, “at five years old, I became the child with thick lenses and a lens patch — an image that elicited quiet sympathy from adults and casual cruelty from peers. I hated it.” But these reflections made me wonder… How does the author see himself now? And what can glasses-wearing readers learn from his life in glasses about themselves and how the world sees them?
