1974? Great
big, oversized, heavy real glass glasses that broke falling off my nose several
times yet were very fashionable.
The carpet cleaners came
just as I was heading out for the Opthomoligist’s office. I missed the whole show as one young man
struggled to get the last folk’s soap out of our carpet.
Instead of just checking
the pressure in my eyes, I got everything done but dilated. My right eye was noticeably worse, weepy and
crusty. I was noticeably unhappy. After most of the new electronic tests, no
cataract surgery for 6 months or more, and the usual testing for new glasses, I
came home happy for the moment. The
pressure is still within the normal range…barely.
My round glasses that I
love are repaired, I’ve ordered a new pair.
The new frames are a dark royal blue and a little larger than my last
pair. The oculist told me that I was
fun. “Next time,” she told me, “Buy
white. Then you can be red, white, and
blue.” I left laughing.
Hopefully, I will see you
better when I get my new glasses.
Your glasses evolution was interesting! Love the first picture with your babies!
ReplyDeleteThe "Eyes" have it!
ReplyDeleteI'd forgotten about real glass lenses! May your favorite frames last forever.
ReplyDeleteI liked having big glasses. I miss my old pair. They don't make them big anymore. Sigh... I really like your favorite pair.
ReplyDeletehi! new to your blog! Yep, I'm keeping glaucoma and cataracts at bay. I feel your pain. ;)
ReplyDeleteThe eyes, the ears, what's next to go? On review, I find I am repeating myself so maybe its the brain.
ReplyDeleteIf I am not repeating myself, I am forgetting myself. LOL
