Geubels had been hesitating for some time to have lens implants placed, but first held off. “My glasses were the only thing that gave my head some color. If you don’t have hair, glasses still give some character. Moreover, my logo is a head with glasses. Without glasses, that’s nothing anymore,” he laughs. But since the corona crisis and the arrival of mouth masks, Geubels realized that life would be easier without glasses. “I have never had much trouble with my glasses, but I now notice how wonderful it is without them.”

Placing lens implants is not a major operation in itself, but Geubels was still quite scared. “It only takes six minutes per eye to sting them. They don’t even have to put you to sleep for it. Although I did, because I am really a pant shit.”

Besides the fact that his glasses no longer fog up, Geubels notices a lot of other advantages. “It’s much easier now when I want to go diving. In the past I always had to fiddle with inserting lenses, that was really necessary. I had minus six and minus seven, so I really didn’t see anything else.” But there are also less typical cases where the lens implants show their usefulness. “During sex I always had to choose: either I shit with my glasses on or I don’t see her,” he laughs.
