Glasses Vs Contact Lenses: Making the Right Choice for Your Vision
Choosing between glasses and contact lenses can be a daunting task, especially when both options offer their own set of benefits and drawbacks. Whether you’re a first-time wearer or considering switching from one to the other, it’s essential to weigh the pros and cons to make an informed decision. Let’s dive into the comparison of glasses vs contact lenses to help you determine which option aligns best with your lifestyle, preferences, and visual needs.
Glasses:
Pros:
Fashion Statement: Glasses have evolved from being purely functional to fashionable accessories. With a myriad of styles, shapes, and colors available, glasses allow you to express your personality and complement your wardrobe.
Convenience: Unlike contact lenses, glasses are easy to put on and take off, making them a hassle-free option for individuals with busy lifestyles. They require minimal maintenance and are suitable for all age groups.
Eye Protection: Glasses provide an additional layer of protection for your eyes, shielding them from dust, debris, and harmful UV rays. Additionally, specialized lenses can offer blue light filtering to reduce eye strain from digital screens.
Cost-Effective: In comparison to contact lenses, glasses tend to be more cost-effective in the long run. With proper care, a well-made pair of glasses can last for years, potentially saving you money on replacement lenses and solutions.
Cons:
Peripheral Vision Limitation: The frames of glasses can obstruct your peripheral vision, especially if you opt for larger or thicker frames. This limitation may take some time to adjust to, particularly during activities that require heightened awareness, such as driving.
Susceptible to Damage: Despite their durability, glasses are susceptible to damage from accidental drops, scratches, or breakage. Repairing or replacing lenses can incur additional costs, and sudden damage may leave you without clear vision until the issue is resolved.
Interference with Activities: Glasses may interfere with certain activities, such as sports or outdoor adventures, where secure and unobstructed vision is crucial. Additionally, fogging or slipping of glasses can be problematic during physical exertion or changes in temperature.
Contact Lenses:
Pros:
Natural Vision: Contact lenses provide a more natural field of vision since they directly adhere to the curvature of your eyes. They eliminate any peripheral obstructions associated with glasses, allowing for unrestricted vision during activities.
Enhanced Aesthetics: Contact lenses offer a seamless and natural appearance, enhancing your facial features without the presence of frames. This aesthetic appeal can boost confidence, especially for individuals who prefer not to wear glasses.
Active Lifestyle Compatibility: Contact lenses are ideal for individuals with active lifestyles or those who participate in sports and outdoor activities. They provide stability and clarity of vision without the worry of glasses slipping or fogging up during movement.
Vision Correction Options: Contact lenses come in various types, including soft, rigid gas permeable, toric for astigmatism, and multifocal for presbyopia. This versatility allows for customized vision correction tailored to individual needs.
Cons:
Maintenance Requirements: Contact lenses demand strict adherence to hygiene practices to prevent eye infections and complications. Cleaning, disinfecting, and storing lenses properly are essential tasks that require time and diligence.
Potential Discomfort: Some individuals may experience discomfort or dryness when wearing contact lenses, particularly during extended wear or in environments with low humidity. Adjusting to the sensation of having a foreign object in the eye can also pose a challenge for first-time wearers.
Risk of Eye Irritation: Improper usage or prolonged wear of contact lenses can lead to eye irritation, redness, or allergic reactions. It’s crucial to follow the prescribed wearing schedule and consult an eye care professional if any discomfort arises.
Cost Considerations: While the initial cost of contact lenses may seem reasonable, recurring expenses for replacement lenses, cleaning solutions, and accessories can add up over time, making them a more costly option compared to glasses.
Conclusion:
The choice between glasses and contact lenses ultimately boils down to personal preference, lifestyle factors, and individual visual needs. While glasses offer convenience, eye protection, and style, contact lenses provide natural vision, aesthetic appeal, and compatibility with active lifestyles. Consider consulting with an eye care professional to determine which option aligns best with your preferences and ensures optimal eye health. Whether you opt for the classic appeal of glasses or the seamless clarity of contact lenses, prioritizing your vision and comfort is paramount in making the right decision.
Political: Will Maryam Nawaz be able to become the daughter of nation?
Much of what Maryam Nawaz has achieved so far is a fight for her father’s right, but as the first woman chief minister takes oath, she can no longer be just her father’s daughter, so will Maryam Nawaz become the daughter of the nation?
‘I will prove that I am my father’s strength, not his weakness’, this statement was given by Maryam Nawaz in July 2017 when she recorded her statement to the joint investigation team investigating the Sharif family’s foreign business dealings. She came out of the Federal Judicial Academy (FJA).
On this occasion, she looked calm, while her profoundly speaking eyes held more power than her words. For the past several months, Maryam Nawaz and her family have been in the grip of corruption allegations, as a result of which she had to spend a short time in jail, while her father and the head of the Muslim League (N) Nawaz Sharif was forced into another self-imposed exile. But all this matter had to come to an end.
When Maryam Nawaz’s brief speech ended that day in the federal capital, she emerged as a major force in the changing political landscape of Pakistan and the whole world witnessed this scene.
A Journey to Political Ascension
Perhaps this was the first step of Maryam Nawaz in the political field of the country. During the 2013 elections, he actively participated in the election campaign of the party and also headed the social media wing of the Muslim League (N) during and after the elections.
In 2014, Maryam Nawaz was made the Chairperson of the Prime Minister’s Youth Program but a year later, her appointment was challenged in the Lahore High Court, forcing her to resign.
Later she was also seen distributing laptops to students on behalf of the Punjab government even though she did not hold any elected office in the province or the center at that time.
In 2016, when Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif underwent open heart surgery, neither the Prime Minister’s House nor the Ministry of Information could control the biggest news of that time and speculations in this regard. In such a situation, Maryam Nawaz came forward and became the center of attention of the media.
She continues to provide regular updates on her father’s health to the public through her Twitter (X) account.
From deciding on the surgery to tweeting the first photo of the prime minister post-surgery, Maryam Nawaz’s Twitter feed provided minute-by-minute details on how long the prime minister would spend in the intensive care unit as well as her plans to return home.
Maryam Nawaz and Nawaz Sharif
Active in the political field
By all accounts, Maryam Nawaz’s first real test of electoral politics came in September 2017 when she campaigned for the NA-120 by-elections. This seat was vacant after the disqualification of Nawaz Sharif in the Panama case.
Maryam Nawaz campaigned for her ailing mother Kulsoom Nawaz, who also managed to win the seat, but the Muslim League-N’s margin of victory was significantly reduced.
Political pundits debated whether it was actually a PML-N victory, but this was a constituency where the PML-N and the Sharif family had a clear influence for nearly three decades.
Journalist Zahid Hussain wrote in this regard, “It was inconceivable that he could have been defeated here.”
However, that was the moment for Maryam Nawaz when she made her move and declared herself the heir to Nawaz Sharif’s political empire.
Zahid Hussain wrote that it is a positive change to have her in charge of a party with conservative social values that has very few women in senior party and cabinet positions.
But being the daughter of a party chief definitely makes a big difference in the culture of family politics.”
The journey was many times more difficult than she had imagined and Maryam Nawaz will admit it. In an interview with Voice of America’s Iram Abbasi, Maryam Nawaz spoke about how women who were in the limelight or in the public eye, especially women who played important roles, faced harsher criticism than their male counterparts.
He said that ‘if a woman has created her own ideals, principles, ideology, belief, values and she wants to make a place for herself, then she will always be looked at with suspicion’.
He added that despite the resistance from within the party ranks, he was “pleasantly surprised” at the way Pakistani people were accepting him.
Criticism was faced
As she became the center of attention, she also faced inappropriate comments regarding her age and clothes.
Most of the backlash came from Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) supporters’ social media accounts who commented on her expensive luxury clothes and other attire while also discussing that she did not look her age.
Even her preparation for her son Junaid Safdar’s wedding was heavily criticized by social media users, with some even saying that she ‘ruined’ her daughter-in-law’s day by over-dressing for her age.
Maryam Nawaz son wedding
However, it was not only his political opponents who stood against him. After the removal of Nawaz Sharif from power, Maryam Nawaz became the face of her party which was anti-establishment and she took account of the injustices done to her father.
Even earlier, it was suspected that he was the one who leaked the story about the government’s clash with top military officers to counter the military’s interference in politics. This rivalry was not well seen by some of the senior leadership of the party.
One of them was former interior minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan, who said that Maryam Nawaz needed to ‘prove herself’.
Finally, the differences between the Shehbaz Sharif group and the Maryam Nawaz group came to the fore.
Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi
Even those who were not averse to anti-establishment rhetoric were not too happy about the way their father had handed over the reins of the party to Maryam Nawaz. Thus began the tussle, but as far as family politics are concerned, blood prevails over merit.
Cracks soon appeared in the party, the most prominent of which was former prime minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi, who said he resigned from the party ‘within an hour’ of Maryam Nawaz’s promotion to the post of senior vice president and chief organizer.
After that, the other big name was Miftah Ismail, who received instructions from Maryam Nawaz on Twitter and had been a victim of the fight between the two factions before. He was dismissed and Ishaq Dar was given the post of Finance Minister.
Perhaps the biggest loss in all this happened to Maryam Nawaz’s cousin Hamza Shehbaz, who was considered the successor of the Sharif brothers until now.
Suddenly, the PML-N got another option in the form of the alluring Maryam Nawaz to take on its nemesis, the PTI. By doing so, the PML-N hoped that the new face would help improve its image, which had been tarnished by Imran Khan’s constant political maneuvers.
But that didn’t happen as Maryam Nawaz was soon surrounded by the alleged ownership of several offshore assets, including the infamous London flats.
What will happen next?
Despite internal strife and criticism, Maryam Nawaz defended her father’s traditional politics less as the party’s vice-president.
In doing so, she became anti-establishment, calling out in front of her workers at rallies the names of judges and generals who wronged her father.
Maryam Nawaz
Maryam Nawaz has carefully built her political persona over the years while keeping firebrand leaders like Maryam Aurangzeb with her who will soon occupy key positions in the party.
Much of what Maryam Nawaz has achieved so far is her fight for her father’s right, but with the swearing in of the first woman chief minister, she can no longer be just her father’s daughter.
Rather, they are responsible for the administration of the country’s most populous and, in other respects, most powerful province.
In her speech in the provincial assembly yesterday, she said, ‘I want to tell the opposition (which was not present at that time) that if you are facing any problem in your constituency, I will be available to you like a Muslim.
It will be for the Member of Provincial Assembly of League (N). Because I am no longer the chief minister of Muslim League (N) but the representative of 12 crore people.
Maryam Nawaz’s journey from being seen as a symbol of family privilege to becoming a leader in her own right echoes a truth that transcends politics, and that is that real power is not just about inheritance, but about oneself. Create your own political identity.
