'To See Is To Believe'

I remember when I was a kid, I used an improvised petroleum lamp in my reading session at night. I kept on using it since I was a grade one until I finished my high school. It was almost 10 years of using petroleum lamp for my study and working my homework at night.

As I was used to reading at such light coming from the lamp, I was not aware that my eyes would be affected. I only discovered later when I found a hard time in deciphering some of my small handwriting from my notes. First I never mind it. I thought that it was just a poor lighting condition of the lamp I used. But my poor vision persisted. So I told my parents about it. Since we were poor, my eye malady was not well attended to. Not until I finished college, got a job and got married that I had my own prescribed eye glasses.
