I went to the eye doctor...

[Xelebes]

And the doctor said, "Oo ee oo ah ah, ting tang widdi wadda bing bang"

And I was like, "whooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaa"

And he was like "Ping pong pang phong sixty five bucks"

And I was like "Ok!" as I dug up the money in my pocket and he gave two sheets of paper.

R-Eye: +6.25-0.50x122
L-Eye: +4.75

And a note saying that I was going to die in two weeks because of some scarring in the back of my eye from some time yonder and I had to see a doctor in three weeks to fix this.

 

[Xelebes]

And I got my glasses today. Everything is so big and readable.

 

[Aeroil]

Glasses eh? you DO know this means you need to get a pic taken.

Contact lenses... without them I probably would not see in public at all.
Loathe wearing glasses.

Still- congrats on the new glasses if you like them.

 

[Bandit58]

I've had the same pair of glasses for reading since I was 19. Thanks Xelebes for reminding me I need to go get my eyes tested, things is a bit more blurry than they used to be I must be getting old

 

[tealsphynx]

I need to get my eyes checked and update my prescription.

 

[Ms_Lilith]

*sigh* I just GOT new glasses about 8 months ago, and I already need to get new ones. Sitting in front of a computer at work, and at home as much as I do is seriously not good for me.

 

[brioche]

I have to call the eye doctor, as things are blurring much worse than they used to. I have glasses, which I wear when I feel like it.

I wear them when driving, but only because when I went to the eye doc, he looked at my prescription and the following exchange occurred:

"Do you wear them for reading?"

"Um, no. I wear them at the movies, and inservices mostly. You told me I could wear them when reading if I wanted to, but I never did."

"And of course you wear them driving..."

"Um, no."

"WHAT?"

"Well, at night there's glare, and during the day I wear sunglasses, because you couldn't find me clip-ons, remember?"

Later I left with an order for glare resistant glasses and my old glasses turning into sunglasses for less than he usually charges. (He has his own optometrist thing with lower markups)

Things are spontaneously blurring now, so I had to get a fasting glucose test for diabetes and now I have to go to the eye doc (assuming I don't have it).

What a bother. And in September too, because next week is vacation.

Thank God I don't get stuff like you, Xelebes, he'd probably have a coronary.

brioche, avoiding her laundry. I'm going now. Really.

 

[Xelebes]

Truth is, I have never worn glasses before and with these things magnifying so I can read print (I've never been able to read print so small it is very startling.) But I think these things for the most part are to correct my lazy eye which crosses every once in a while (has bothered me since before kindergarten at least.) This lazy eye has pretty much made me reading novels a lot more difficult as I can make out the letters and words I am reading, I just simply lose track of which line I am on and so I often missed lines and reread lines making reading novels harder. And I never complained of this - I always thought this was normal or something because I just now saw this as a problem.

 

[Xelebes]

Glasses eh? you DO know this means you need to get a pic taken.

Yes, yes dear. I will take one for you dear. Well, whenever I get a photo taken of me wearing these buggers. Didn't happen to me last night.

 

[graceanne]

I wear glasses for everything, including reading. I've had bifocals since I was 14, they help correct my lazy eye. My right eye is 20/600 (that's the lazy eye), and my left eye is 20/200. Doctors can actualy look at my prescription and know that I have a lazy eye, even when it's not crossing (which it rarely does - mosty when I'm tired or not wearing my glasses). Without my glasses I can't even see my feet, so obviously driving without them is out of the question.

I can see just fine without them, up until this blurring thing happened. I would occassionally pop out without them, but I have a brand new car now, my first, and now I won't. As it is I'm driving really carefully (which makes my mum happy) so driving without my glasses would be bad. I might scratch it, and it's so pretty

Next time I get my license renewed I'll have to fess up. Since the only conversation my optometrist and I had was the previous one, he didn't technically tell me I need glasses, but it's semantics, so I won't play games with it again.

My father was an Optometist. He practiced in the same town for 50 years. I was a wholesale optician for 19 years. I worked in a lab, in what they call the bench department. It was an interesting business, back then, but now, it's all computer driven and kind of sucks. So, I'm glad I'm not doing that, any more.

What's my point? My dad never acted like that, during an examination. Trust me.


Oh, and the scaring at the back of your eye? Detached retina? could be serious.

your script? You are a hyperop, in case you wondered. Too much jacking off will do that too ya'. The sphere is +, so you'll have kind of thick lenses. Well, not REAL thick. Don't worry, everything considered, you'll live.

 

[Xelebes]

Yeah, I know. It was the saleswoman, not thew optometrist who remarked on how heavy they were.

 

[DVS]

Actually, that's bad form on her part to even mention that.

Unless she was trying to get you to purchase the ultra-light plastic lenses, with the antiscratch coating and the UV400 coating and the fancy tinting or maybe the ones that change in the sunlight, perhaps.

She's the retail optician. Her job is to make it seem like any frame you want looks perfect on you. But, she should steer you towards the frames that your thick lenses would work better with. Sometimes they don't to that and you end up going back for adjustments quite regularly.

Maybe she thought you were hot and she did that on purpose, so she could get to know you. Was she HOT? Was she showing any cleavage? Nice ass? Was she the first thing you looked at, through your new glasses? And was she the second thing, too?

I've got an eye appointment Wednesday morning. I'm 99% sure I'll get glasses.

But on a funny note...

I was at my local LUG meeting... I saw a guy there, gave him a piece of equipment... I made a comment about how I had a headache, and my eyes hurt, and he said "You need to get your eyes checked", I said "I don't have an optometrist in this town..." he goes "Oh! I'm an eye doctor" me: "Really? You gonna take a look for me then "... him: "yeah, I'll do it for free too, you just gotta come see me"... me: "Where's your office?"... him: "I'm the criminal optometrist for the Federal Prison in Buckner"

me=owned

Oh well, doctors are expensive.

Cool. Take away your glasses and you're blindfolded. I like that.

LOL So does K.

She was in her forties and a bit frumpy.

Personally, I think that would be a bit creepy. A federal prison? Could be some nasty ones, in there. What if there was a prison break, right when you were getting your eyes tested.

Who would know you were even there? LOL. You could be taken as someone's bitch and never heard from again.

But, on the liighter side. You wouldn't need to worry about the cost of the glasses.

 

[DVS]

Too bad for you. But, that doesn't mean she won't still put the moves on you.

 

[Xelebes]

True, but I don't think she was putting on the moves much. Or I don't know as I have been quite slow picking up on those cues.

 

[DVS]

True, but I don't think she was putting on the moves much. Or I don't know as I have been quite slow picking up on those cues.

There's one sure way to tell. If she reaches down and grabs your package, and moans...there's a pretty good idea she's making moves.

Another...
If she suggests she come over to your place...just to make sure you are adjusting to your new glasses as you should, that also a pretty good hunch she's making a move.

And, if she does the first one, and then the second one, I'd say you're in trouble.

There are more ways she could make the move, and some are even more obvious than these two. It all depends on how horny she is, and how hot you look in your new glasses. Watch your back!
