Ndivavanye i-Acuvue Oasys ngoTshintsho ngelixa ndiQeqesha iHalf Marathon

Umxholo

• Uphengululo lwe

Ndibe ngumnxibelelanisi weelensi zonxibelelwano ukusukela kwibanga lesibhozo, kodwa ndisanxibe uhlobo olunye lweelensi zeeveki ezimbini endaziqala ngazo kwiminyaka eli-13 eyadlulayo. Ngokungafaniyo netekhnoloji yeselfowuni (ukukhwaza kwifowuni yam yeflip yesikolo esiphakathi), ishishini lonxibelelwano libone into entsha kwiminyaka.

Oko kukuthi, kude kube kulo nyaka xa uJohnson noJohnson besungula i-Acuvue Oasys yabo entsha ngoTshintsho, ilensi ehlengahlengisa imeko yokukhanya. Ewe, njengeiglasi zamehlo ezidibanisa neelanga. Kulungile, akunjalo?

Ndacinga njalo nam kwaye ngesiqingatha semarathon esingaphantsi kwenyanga kude, ndaye ndagqiba kwelokuba lelona xesha lilungileyo lokubavavanya kwaye ndibone ukuba bayatshintsha na njengoko bebonakala. (Inxulumene: Impazamo zokhathalelo lwamehlo ongazi ukuba uzenza)

Ngokutsho kophando lophawu, malunga nesibini kwabathathu baseMelika bakhathazwa kukukhanya ngemini eqhelekileyo. Bendingawathatheli ngqalelo amehlo am "sensitive to light" ndade ndacinga into yokuba ndinepeya zesunglasses kwibhegi endinayo kwaye ndizinxiba mihla le unyaka wonke. Iilensi zoqhagamshelwano ezintsha zenguqu zisebenza ngokuguqula ukusuka kwi-lens ecacileyo ukuya kwi-lens emnyama kwaye ubuyele kwakhona ukulinganisela umlinganiselo wokukhanya okungena kwiso. Oku kunciphisa ukugqabhuka nokuphazamiseka kombono ngenxa yezibane ezikhanyayo, nokuba zivela elangeni, ukukhanya okuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, okanye izibane zangaphandle ezinjengezibane zasesitratweni kunye nezibane zangaphambili. (Zama enye yezi zibuko zelanga eziNgcono kakhulu zokuSebenza ngaphandle.)

Olu vavanyo luqale ngotyelelo kugqirha wamehlo wam ukufumana amayeza oonxibelelwano ohlaziyiweyo kunye nesampulu yeelensi zokuvavanya. Umahluko kuphela phakathi konxibelelwano lwam lwangaphambili kunye nolu lincinci lintsundu. Bafaka, basuse, kwaye bazive bekhululekile njengelensi yesiqhelo yeeveki ezimbini. (Ukuba ungabafowunelwa abalahlwayo yonke imihla kinda gal, amava akho anokwahluka.)

Xa kufikelelwa kumba wokubaleka—imvula, umoya, ikhephu, okanye ilanga—ndisoloko ndithwele umnqwazi webaseball okanye iindondo zelanga ukuze ndivale amehlo am. Ndiqale uqeqesho lweBrooklyn Half Marathon phakathi ku-Epreli kwaye bendisazi ukuba lo mjikelo woqeqesho kunye nemozulu yasentwasahlobo ayizukuhluka. Ukufumana iimayile zam, ubuncinci ngeentsasa ezimbini ngeveki, ndiza kubaleka ngaphambi komsebenzi. Rhoqo ndiqala ukubaleka kwam ngesifingo kwaye ndigqibezela ukuphuma kwelanga ngokupheleleyo. Abafowunelwa babelungele loo meko. Ndandinombono opheleleyo ngeli xesha kwakumnyama kwaye kwakungekho mfuneko yokuba ndiphathe iindondo zelanga ngenxa yelanga eliqaqambileyo lasekuseni. Inyani eyonwabisayo: zonke iilensi zonxibelelwano zivimba inqanaba leemitha ze-UVA / UVB kodwa ngenxa yomthunzi omnyama elangeni, utshintsho lunika i-99 +% ye-UVA / ye-UBA. (Idibeneyo: Ukuzivocavoca kwamehlo okufuneka uyenze ukuphucula impilo yamehlo)

Iilensi zithatha malunga nemizuzwana engama-90 ukutshintshela ngokupheleleyo kowona mthunzi umnyama kodwa ngokunyanisekileyo andikwazanga nokuyixela inkqubo eyenzekayo. Ngesinye isihlandlo ndacinga ukuba azisebenzi kuba andizange "ndiyibone" ukulungiswa, kodwa ke ndaqonda ukuba andiyi kukhangela ukukhanya kwaye xa ndithatha i-selfie, amehlo am aye amnyama. Icala elibi kunxibelelwano kukuba banombala oqhelekileyo ngombala wamehlo ngenxa yokuba iilensi ziba mnyama. Oko akuzange kundikhathaze kwaye abahlobo bam bathi khange kubonakale kuyothusa okanye isinxibo saseHalloween kodwa ngathi bendinamehlo ansundu (ndinamehlo aluhlaza ngokwendalo).

Ekuhambeni kwenyanga, ndandinxiba abafowunelwa phantse yonke imihla. Kuhambo olufutshane oluya kuloliwe ohamba ngaphantsi komhlaba ndidla ngokulibala ukunxiba iisunnies zam, kwaye ndiyakwazi ukuxelela ukuba ndiza kuzithanda iintsuku zasehlotyeni elwandle. Isigqibo malunga nokuba ungazibeki emngciphekweni okanye esinye isibuko sezibuko zelanga kumtshangatshangiso asizukuba sisigqibo. Iimbaleki ze-Amateur kunye ne-ligi ngokufanayo banokufumana inyathelo kukhuphiswano lwabo lwemidlalo yangaphandle kunye nokubonakala okungcono elwandle okanye echibini. Kuba ndihlala kwisiXeko saseNew York, andifane ndiqhube kwaye andizange ndiwuvavanye lo msebenzi ngexesha lelingo lam kodwa ndinokubona ngokupheleleyo inzuzo yokuqhuba okucacileyo, ngakumbi ebusuku xa i-halos kunye nezibane ezingaboniyo ziyingxaki eqhelekileyo. (Eyeleleneyo: Ngaba unokuqubha ngelixa unxibe oonxibelelwano?)

Musa ukunxiba oonxibelelwano kwaye uzive unomona? Nokuba unombono we-20/20, unokuvuna izibonelelo zokulungelelanisa ukukhanya ngokuthenga iilensi ngaphandle kokulungiswa. Ngokwam, ndiza kuthenga ibhokisi enye yeenguqu zehlobo (unikezelo lweeveki ezili-12) kwaye ndinamathele kwiilensi zam zemveli unyaka wonke.

Yiza usuku lomdyarho, ndilinde kumgca wokuqala, ndajonga iMyuziyam yaseBrooklyn ngasekunene kwaye libalele, isibhakabhaka esiluhlaza ngasekhohlo kwaye ndaphinda ndamangaliswa yindlela endibona ngayo ngokucacileyo. Kwaye akukho kutswina! Ndisithathile isigqibo sokufaka iiglasi zelanga kuba ikhosi yayiye kwilanga elithe ngqo lokubaleka. (Yeyiphi i-TBH, iilensi bezingayenzelwanga ukubuyisela ngokupheleleyo iiglasi zelanga.) Ngoku, andizukubanika abafowunelwa abatsha lonke ikhredithi, kodwa ezo ntsasa zakuqala zibaleka * zakhokelela kwimizuzu emihlanu yemarathon PR.
