NaAsiaha Simon, who became partially blind in her right eye due to a rare brain disorder, continues to find ways to boost her confidence through her collection of eyeglasses. In her brightly colored living room on June 17, Simon sorted through 63 pairs of prescription glasses featuring various colors and patterns, including blues, pinks, greens, clear frames, and even a solid black pair reminiscent of Harry Potter. She keeps several pairs in different locations around her home and car.
Simon said that after losing part of her vision from the disorder a few years ago, she decided to make wearing glasses an enjoyable experience. "So, why not make wearing glasses fun? A confidence booster," Simon said.
Usually, selecting glasses before choosing an outfit has become part of Simon's daily routine. However, on this occasion she wore a dress with a tie-dye blend of blues and chose canary yellow frames afterward.
