[Magdalen] New specs

[Lynn Ronkainen]

I have found it interesting when friends with vision, on a par with mine (can't recognize faces across a room or read a grandfather clock at 12' away without them) are fine with this level of clarity unless there are other 'reasons' to don their glasses - like driving , maybe. I too could not imagine living and moving in a semi decipherable blur, as a choice. Not sure what I would do if nose discomfort prevailed. Perhaps seek out alternative nosepiece options and/ or lightweight frames/ lenses. The ones I've been wearing for 16 years are Silhouetts - temples are connected directly to lens and so is small nosepiece. Extremely lightweight and with polycarbonate (I think) lenses, light as a feather.

The gf has a healed broken nose, making eyeglasses very

for any period of time.

She opens her purse.
She retrieves her eyeglass case.
She unfolds her eyeglasses and puts them on her face.
She reads whatever I'm trying to show her.
She carefully re-folds her eyeglasses.
She puts them in the case.
She puts the case in her purse.
We resume our conversation.

Believe me, this lengthens any endeavor that involves reading.
It would drive me nuts! I want to be ready to read anything
at any time without any extra effort.

At home, she carries them around tucked into the neckline
of her t-shirt. On a couple of occasions they've tumbled into
the sink or the trash.

I put my eyeglasses on when I get up in the morning
and take them off when I go to bed.

We are very different people.
