New Hardware

If you didn’t see it this morning, my glasses broke - snapped at the frame. Without my glasses, I am pretty much blind and I could make out things, but everything was blurry. Thankfully, Jesse had an appointment with the podiatrist, so he was still in Rochester Hills instead of at work. Jesse, being the supportive husband that he is, took the day off of work and stayed home to help me. Afterall, you try and keep up with a 15 month old when you can’t see anything.
I ended up making a 12pm appointment with the eye doctor at Lens Crafters and by 4pm I had a new set of glasses ready for me. I actually had them picked out awhile ago when Jesse and I were pricing out glasses at the mall; I only had two requirements - titanium and durable. Being allergic to nickel can suck when there is only a small supply of titanium eyewear, but we were able to find some that also included the Luxotica Memorize frames (this means Ian can yank on them and they’ll bend with him).
The new glasses are nice, but it’s going to take a little longer than usual to get used to them. Normally, I’ll get a littler vertigo feeling when I first put them on, but it generally goes away within the first few minutes. However, since I was without my glasses for the better part of the day, my eyes had to readjust and it’s been 90 minutes and my eyes are not going as crazy as they were. I also learned something interesting when I picked them up. Both my eyes have an astigmatism. The consultant said this could also affect how well my eyes adjust to the new glasses.
So I now have new glasses. So far they are kind of nice and I even got sunglass clips for them. Now I’ll have shades in the sun.
