elenuial did the "I was right" dance after my eye exam

I Wear Glasses Now: A Triptych.

Turns out I've been nearsighted for a few years, and my left eye is a different prescription from my right. I put them on and I was like "HOLY CRAP how did I live before this?!" So now I can read street signs and see things in the distance and whatnot. I don't need to wear them 24/7, but I'm trying to wear them for long periods to get used to having frames in my vision and something sitting on the bridge of my nose. Once I get used to them, though, it'll take all my willpower to not buy a hundred different crazy cool frames. (Also, $150 for exam and lenses and frames? Good deal.)

First thing I did was duck into the bathroom for five minutes and take obligatory proof snapshots, of course.

Also, first one to make a hipster comment gets kicked in the nuts.

Cute!

And being able to really see clearly is... well... awesome. I remember when I first got glasses as a kid, and I was like "How could anyone ever lose or sit on their glasses? It's so awesome to be able to SEE!"

On the other hand, I'm going to be getting LASIK this spring. It will be awesome to see clearly AND not worry about glasses being pulled off/getting scratched/getting dirty/etc.
