Now I Can See

Actually, I could see before but I did purchase new glasses this last week. I have always had two pairs of glasses (a little of the OCD in me peeking through), but one pair got ruined hanging out in my dive bag so I have been stuck with one pair for some time.

The pair that I had I bought in college (1989ish) and the frames are burgundy, big and remind me a bit of Square Pegs or As Life Goes On...

These ones are much smaller and even though the prescription has not changed, the shape throws my eyes off. I can see around these glasses and it is a bit blurry in the around parts, so it is taking me some time to get used to them. Not to mention that I only wear my glasses for the 15 minutes between taking my contacts in or out and bed...this greatly adds on to the time it takes to get adjusted to them.

The plus side is that I think they are more flattering than my other glasses and they are much smaller and lighter which is fabulous...

I had the same problem but you get used to it.

In my all time favorite picture of me I have my first pair of glasses on. I got them in like 92/93 so they are also those big and bulky frames. I remember wanting that because it bugged me that I could see around the glass. I've gone to smaller, cuter frames since then. :)

You should always have two pairs of glasses in case one gets lost or broken. I finally have two current pairs and am very happy :) Although I have to wear them all the time, so it's a little more critical to have a backup pair.
