Since the Beginning of August

Wow!! It’s been a journey! Finally, new prescription glasses. Since I don’t shop very well, I finally decided to put my new eyeglass prescription into my old glass fames. I’m a little disappointed, but this is probably better than getting all new glasses and risking falling. The little bit of shopping that I accomplished did not turn up any frames that were anywhere near the size of my old glasses, not even men’s glasses. All of the store personnel said that this was probably what I would find all over town, with the exception of a new small place downtown. So, I knew that the placement of the bifocal line in my old glasses didn’t cause me to trip, why not just re-use them. Besides, the quality of my old frames was so much better than that of the new ones that I was handling.

Another case of “new is not always better.” When I put the new, old glasses on, I thought someone turned up the lights! Things seemed so much brighter. Everything that I do seems so much easier now. No more squinting or reaching for the magnifying glass for the least little thing. I’ll just keep watching and if I happen to see some frames that have big lenses maybe then I’ll get “new” glasses. Meanwhile, it’s nice to have clear eyesight again!

Healthy Days to You, Your Smiling Maven
