Getting glasses

StephenHarris

Had an eye test today after a bout of blurry vision (dryness after strong wind) and have been recommended to wear glasses. I'm 35 and to be honest, focussing at distance has been getting a bit harder. Still a minor shock.

  • When I get an eye test and find that I need new glasses. I find the choice of frames available in the shop is a bit overwhelming (I suppose that I could ask them to put new lenses in the existing frames but the frames deteriorate over time), I ask do you have the same design of frame as my last glasses but inevitably find that they don't supply them anymore.

    I had decades of that problem, now I go to a very expensive opticians, where I essentially designed my own rimless glasses and I can get exactly the same every time, I just change the colour of the very narrow metal parts from time to time. I pay through the nose, but, as they are on my face all the time, I think it is worthwhile.
