I can see clearly now

[cyrano]

New glasses ordered. I did not, in fact, have to fight tooth and nail for glass lenses, but I did pay through the nose. I didn't realize how much extra they'd be until I was getting rung up (which was at least partially my fault for not asking) and it's probably more than I would have *liked* to but not more than I can take. I got the cool magnetic sunglass attachment thingies, and the shape is a fair approximation of the lenses I currently have. The exam indicates that my eyesight has improved over the past six years, so take *that*, 'getting older', you big doodyhead.
Ten working days from now, they say I should have them in hand.

I laugh in the face of danger! But I cower in the face of constant headaches. ;)

If your vision is improving, your lenses probably aren't as heavy as mine were. I'm blind as a bat with ever-worsening vision, and I had the classic Coke-bottle lenses before I finally discovered the wonders of space-age polymers.

Oh yeah, I'm lucky that way. If my glasses weren't adorable wee tiny lenses, then I would have said 'screw scratches' long ago and leapt headfirst into the coal car of the plastic lens train.
