Let There Be Sight
I’ve had the same pair of glasses for at least four years, and the same pair of contacts for longer than that. (The only reason the contacts lasted as long as they did is that I never wore them more than a handful of times in any given year–and mostly just long enough to find my glasses–because my eyes tend to itch when my allergies act up, and that has been occurring mroe frequently as time goes by.) When I went to make an appointment with my opthamologist, I discovered he’d retired over three years ago. The very nice people in his office got me in on very short notice, and yesterday, I picked up new glasses and new contacts. Even though my prescription hadn’t changed very much, it was worth it just for the anti-glare coating on the lenses (let’s hear it for eyestrain reduction!) and the smaller, lighter frames and lenses. We’ll see how the new contacts work out; the technology has changed a lot since my last pair.
