Your eyesight is your ability to see (OxfordDictionary)
Nowadays, great strides are being made in medicine*. Many diseases are healed for little money.I am eager to tell about a significant change in my life. It started in school, probably in 5th grade. My eyesight was getting worse and I remember that in the first half of the year I felt shy wearing glasses. I thought they would say "Hey, look yonder! There is a four-eyes!" and all the stuff like that. Eventually, I was lucky to have friends who hadn't even noticed the glasses.
The years rolled by and contact-lenses eventually came to our town. I got used to fitting in the lenses after two* weeks and then I did it regularly. To be fair, not everyone around me knew that I had bad eyesight and moreover I didn't know it either. Sometimes I forgot to take out my lenses when I fell asleep and by next morning my eyes were completely red. My eyesight was going gradually and inevitably down because of careless behaviour.
Some people had already had an operation on their eyesight and felt satisfied with it. I thought I might as well do the same. Doctors checked my health and soon I had one. Two weeks passed and my visual acuity returned.
It is known that the human eye can see several million pixels. Any device is far away from this value. What I am eager to say, writing this note, is that we need to be thoroughly careful about our health. Your eyesight is not only your ability to see; it also defines the quality of your life.

*or, putting on the lenses...
Very well written!
