My Contact Lenses and False Age Creep Signal

I switched to contacts 2 1/2 years ago. I love them. I only wear the glasses right before bed. I don't think I could ever go back to glasses full time.

 

I just can't have contact lenses; can't have something right on my eye. I did break a pair of glasses when chipmunk tried to run me over.

 

I only tried to do that on the Saturn. That car died 7 months ago.

 

I guess heaven needed to save my life.

 

I wear contacts and go with reading glasses for the up-close stuff. But I hate the half-glasses, "librarian" look, so I opt for full-frame readers.

Problem: Covering games. Hard to watch action, then look down at notebook or laptop screen. So end up sliding the full-framers down my nose, to the point that they look like half-glasses anyway.

Solution: Found online some full-frame reader bifocals, which go from clear glass near top of the lens to reading correction near bottom. These generally are the old style of bifocals, because getting progressives -- even clear to reading -- will send you to an optical department and have you digging deep. But ability to wear decent frames, full-size, and still do both close and far work while doffing them for my contacts view of life at the final horn, that's what I wanted. And got.
