shewhomustI collected my new glasses from the optician yesterday morning. They are as close in appearance to my old ones as I could find: I was happy with what I had, so why change it? But of course fashion means that you can never get exactly the same as last time, so these are subtly different: slightly larger, slightly darker, slightly heavier, slightly more angular in shape, almost hexgonal. I wore them to the pub quiz last night, and C. noticed at once: "New glasses?" she asked, and durham_rambler wondered how she knew - had someone seen us leaving the opticians? No, we explained, she knew because she could see that I was wearing them.
The real question, though, is: do they improve my vision? Too soon to say.
I left my other pair - that is, the mid-distance pair that I use at my desktop - with the optician. These are the ones whose frames I really like, so we will try fitting the new lenses into the old frames, and hope they don't shatter. I should find out in a week or so.
