Sigh…getting OLD! First time getting an eye checkup in decades and the verdict is in: I finally need glasses. In a way, I’m kind of excited to get them because I’ll have sharper vision again. But…yeah. OLD!

Had glasses from middle school on until I was around 45 and got lasik done. Now I only need readers because I am only slightly older than you :)

I’ve generally had good vision all my life, but to slowly see it go blurry has been concerning to say the least. When going through the eye exam, I was blown away with how much better I could see when going through different lenses! It was like getting brand new eyes! :0000

I had to do the same in recent years. The eyes just don’t focus as quickly anymore and distances are a slight issue. I get to do the thing my dad used to do and take them off to read small print (or use a magnifier). Still got all my teeth though, so I have that over him!

Aw you look fine! I got eyeglasses in 3rd grade and contacts in 9th grade. I was disqualified for LASIK, unfortunately because I think they said there was too much tissue in my left eye (or not enough? I don’t remember haha)

Hahah, aww, thank you, Faded! Yeah, the lady helping me went through a ton of glasses with me. I honestly really love these. The translucent gray/blue frames with the hint of orange at the hinges just resonated with me. And I thought I would have preferred frameless glasses. They made me look 80!! 😵
