in April I tried to get in to see my eye doctor at Armstrong and Small… I hadn’t been since 2019 and had noticed that my vision was not what it used to be… knew that I would need new glasses…

I was able to get an appointment for the beginning of June and was in the office for over two hours… my eyes were fine, but there was quite a bit of conversation about getting new glasses between my optometrist and the optician helping me with the glasses…

they ordered some frames and I went back about a week later to try them on… they looked good so we moved forward with ordering them…

I have nearly always had glass lenses, but they are nearly impossible to get now… after much discussion, plastic lenses, made in Canada, were ordered and would likely take about three weeks to arrive…

my current lenses have a slub on the right side… the purpose was to help my eyes focus as the prescription in the eyes is so different… we are going to try something else this time, so will see how it goes…

on Tuesday I got a call that the glasses were in and scheduled an appointment for Wednesday…

went in, had them adjusted, tested the magnetic sunglasses clip, and brought them home… loving the purple case, lol…

I am getting used to them and can see better, which is the most important thing;-)…

contacts…

this afternoon I headed over to Graham Avenue to get my contacts checked…

been wearing a few different test lenses for about two weeks and have been very pleased with the improvement in my vision…

with the last contacts I had, I never did get good vision for close up items and long distance wasn’t that great either… I had concluded that glasses were going to be my best option…

she experimented with a different contact and I had to wait a few minutes for it to settle onto my eye…

as I left, got this picture of one of the pop-up parks…

looking forward to the new lenses and better vision…

sadly it is back to glasses as I wait for the new ones to arrive…
