Monovision

[MouseWife]

Ha, you tease out of affection.

I've worn glasses to see far since about the 6th grade. I have worn contacts, great for when I go to Disneyland and like to wear sunglasses but not so good when indoors and shopping {I don't need them at this time and they more mess up my vision}.

When I turned 40, right after maybe, I did start to have to hold the pennies farther.

I don't want to bother with contacts. I do like my glasses. They probably look like the ones you talk about, Kevy Baby. This is my second pair of 'geeky' glasses. My first pair was a little more thin, probably less geeky. That was about 4 years ago and right when they were coming out. I took a lot of grief {and a lot of compliments, too} about them but I do love them.

I used to love the cat eye glasses back in high school, too, but only for going dancing.

I really don't want to hear more about growing old. I am not in a very good mood for that today.

Besides, none of the people I met at the Lashbear meet were old, needed canes or seeing eye dogs, had to stop to breathe or had gamy looking skin.

None.

I love my contacts and I hate wearing glasses so I jumped at the suggestion of monovision as soon as my eye doctor mentioned it. It took me no time at all to get used to it but that had a lot to do with how much I hate wearing glasses. The last time I got new glasses I tried going for some cool narrow frames but the woman helping me took a look at my prescription and said no way. I'm too blind I guess.

As far as I'm concerned monovision is the only way to go.
