Went to the optometrist this morning for my annual exam. The good news is that my right eye has again improved, while the left eye seems content to hold down the status quo and just go along for the ride. Any improvement for any reason is welcome. I had been considering getting new glasses so I would have a spare in case I ever needed them. The change in prescription was added justification for getting new lenses.
But I didn’t get new frames. My old one from before my current one was judged OK by the optician and, because I’m not much concerned with style or esthetics, reusing the old one suits me fine. Especially seeing the price increase of new frames since I got my current one three years ago.
Old frames, new lenses, same old eyes. In a week or so, I’ll switch glasses and then have to get used to seeing them reflected in the mirror. And it will be nice to have a backup pair. When a person is as nearsighted as I am, it’s good to have a Plan B. But with old lenses or new I can say “see you later,” and then be able to do it.
