New Glasses

the time has come...

It was inevitable.

I've worn prescription glasses for more than 15 years, but only need to wear them for driving at night. The last I got a new prescription and frames was at about 6 years ago or so.

I had my eyes checked a couple of years ago, and they told me that the prescription had increased just a notch from my current prescription, so I decided not to invest in new frames or lenses.

But, I knew this was coming...

I finally had my eyes checked again last week, and it seems my prescription needs have increased a couple of notches: it was time to invest in some new lenses, and just to make it more fun, new frames, too.

I went to the place on Castro street where Dick and Pete have both bought their glasses from many, many years. They see the same person there, who has an uncanny ability to select frames that are perfectly suited for the individual.

Par for course, the first pair she showed me was the pair we went with. (I tried another 8-10, just for good measure.)

My new frames and lenses came in today. I just picked them up!
