After I got my cataract surgery, that practice gave me a new pair of glasses with a new, supposedly improved prescription. The glasses absolutely sucked. I could only see in bits and patches. The ground at my feet was out of focus which resulted in me tripping even more than usual. I could see across the street okay and oddly enough the microwave tower on the horizon was crisply in focus. Not particularly useful, but crisp.
So last week, to get proper glasses, I went whining off to my regular eye doctor, who is charming, his office well decorated, and his bill enormous. I got my new glasses today and I am here to tell you, being able to see is worth the money. Plus I was able to reuse the frames I've had for a couple of years and really like, so yay.
Also out getting coffee and then on my way over to pick up my glasses, I noticed several people, including a couple of attractive young men, giving me the eye, as they say. It improved my mood considerably and made me think "mrpeenee still got it, yeah bitch." And then I realized they were simply struck by my new t-shirt, a masterpiece of graphic art that represents Godzilla eating a subway car, a classic scene from a couple of Godzilla movies and one of my favorites.
Guys to pay attention to:
Being able to see is worth a lot!
ReplyDeleteA few years back I paid through the nose for two pairs of glasses that only gave me terrible headaches. Replaced them with plain glasses just to protect the working eye.
Looking good and that t shirt is brilliant.
Wouldn't mind having an encounter with the beefy beef man in the high vis jacket
I was so very frustrated with the crappy glasses I had from the cataract guy.
DeleteMaybe those young men wanted to approach you but were frightened off by the shirt. (Glad to hear you're caffeinated again!)
ReplyDeleteAnonymous, too
If you can take me at my Godzilla, you don't deserve me at my caffeinated.
DeleteThose are great glasses! You cool dude, you...

PS Mr Keegan's "whicker-wacker" would do very nicely, thanks.
I love the term "whicker-wacker."
DeleteThe correct order of notice is clearly mepeenee first; his awesome Godzilla t-shirt second; and then Keegan Whicker.

DeleteYour first pair of glasses after the surgery, when you looked out of them was there a fishbowl effect on the periphery of your vision ?
ReplyDeleteSometimes lenses are plano type flat on the surface when they should have a slight curve to them on the front surface to prevent that fishbowl effect. Expensive lenses because of the more precise work required to form, grind and polish them but worth it ! As only certain labs have the expertise to make them, especially with lenses of a high index.

They are absolutely worth it.
DeleteYou've a look of Kier Starmer in those specs, he's our odious and much despised Prime Minister. I wouldn't mind a bit of slap and tickle with hi-viz beefiness.
