When the day is done my brain is mush, but the thoughts never stop. My musings are my thoughts, insights and reflections of my day despite the mush.

Glasses
I really need glasses. My recent pounding headaches are evidence of this. I have trouble with seeing anything far away making driving at night or reading words off a screen very taxing on my eyes. The problem is I hate how I look in glasses. Other people look fine in them, but I look retarded in them. Maybe it is the nerd complex that I am trying to get out of now that I am grown, or perhaps it's my self esteem plummeting to the earth when I put a pair on. My other glasses mysteriously disappeared and fortunately for me the prescription was no longer valid. One problem with the glasses situation is my size. I have a small face which puts me in the child or teen sizes. Is it wrong for me to be embarrased a little at the thought of wearing the same size glasses as my puny 11 year old? I have been to five different glasses retailers and my picky self is displeased with every single pair I try on. I did find an acceptable pair at one store, but they did not take my insurance. Today I went to another place and there may be some hope there. They did have a lot of choices, but my children were being far too annoying for me to continue on my search. So until I search again, no glasses yet. Maybe a second opinion is what I need. My husband and best friend seem to know what actually looks good on me so I may have to just let them pick the darn things out.

contacts maybe? my hubby got lasik about 5 years ago and said it was well worth it ... the price has probably come down since then too.
ReplyDeleteProblem with contacts 1) I dislike the feeling of things touching my eyes 2) I do not need glasses full time, only for far away. My eyes are not bad enough for lasik....i finally have a prescription with a bit of strength to it.
