Photo: Eye Can See Better Now

Eye See You
As you can see from the above pic, I now have glasses. But not full time glasses. Only when I’m reading something up close.
After a year or so of holding things out in the distance so I can see them better [phone, papers, books, serial numbers, etc.], I decided to pay the eye doctor a visit. He says I’m farsighted, which means I can see really well far away, or in other words, pedestrians are safe when I drive.
But for looking at my phone or a book or even a page of small print, these glasses have already made a nice improvement. My first view of my iPhone’s retina screen showed me how clear it really was. Now I don’t have any excuses for not reading my stack of books.
Studious, Still Silly
Getting used to glasses since not having worn them since seventh grade [reading glasses then, too] is quite the challenge. I’m sure it becomes second nature over time, but for now, my eyes have to readjust each time I put them on and take them off. Pretty blurry for a few seconds after taking them off.
they look great on you!
i don’t need glasses, but i made the docs give me a pair for night driving, just to crisp everything up. sadly, i have no clue where they are. but i love them!
Thanks. I could see night driving being helped with glasses.
They look great!! I had to get some too. Its really an age thing.
Thanks, Linda. It is an age thing.
I have reading glasses. The wages of getting older. I had RK surgery 100 years ago, so my eyes started going earlier than they might have otherwise. Don’t care for them, but for computer and reading they are a necessity.
I can see getting used to taking these on and off will be a hassle.
I don’t need them… yet. They look great on you, though!
Hold out as long as you can. Thanks.
I’m the only one in my family who doesn’t need glasses for reading and in fact my younger sister needs glasses all the time.
That is awesome. Hold out as long as you can.
Welcome to the family Marty! You look ‘smashing’ in your new eyes and will blend right in for those precious family photos … Lucky you~
Thanks, Jo. And it feels good to be a part of the “family” now.
I’m getting to the point where I’m going to either have to switch to glasses or wear reading glasses with my contacts. I’m near-sighted so I don’t need glasses to read, but need glasses/contacts for watching tv and driving and stuff. Getting older is balls. Just plain balls.
Balls is right. Getting used to wearing these is a bit difficult, but it helps the up close viewing.
I don’t have to wear these yet but know so many people who do. Yours look fab and I am happy you got them! 🙂 🙂 🙂
Thank you. They do work (when I remember to keep them with me for small print and all that)
