They are cool and fun and you can get ones that pick up your iPod, and ones that go with your outfit, and they'll change your life.<br /><br />@Midlifer - Glad to hear there's hope!

As a friend who has a few years...It's OK R.M. <br /><br />As a friend who has a few years on you, don't feel bad! I wear contacts but when the sun goes down, out come my father's soda bottle specs (I've got the lined bifocals, so imagine how old I feel!). As far as the librarian thing goes, Mrs M went through this a couple of years ago. At the risk of delving into TMI land, I'll just say there's still life after bifocals!John McCulloughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16951138630568271581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5899499377100127447.post-38145988349344318922011-01-22T09:44:29.892-05:002011-01-22T09:44:29.892-05:00I could add to you story. After wearing glasses or...I could add to you story. After wearing glasses or contacts for my entire life, I got Lasik in 2001. Best thing in the world. Loved it. I could go on and on. But in the last couple of years, I noticed my eyesight for distance is getting worse. I marched back to my doctor touting the lifetime guarantee, at which time he said if we do correction for distance I will lose my vision for close up. He clarified this is a muscle issue that comes with age and I get to choose whether to see close or see far without correction. So I am again a not-so-proud wearer of glasses. Getting old stinks.<br /><br />And I still qualify for hearing aids. Maybe I will breakdown and get them sometime this year. For now, we just turn up the the TV.<br /><br />Love you! -LisaLisa Manehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15064973181519222248noreply@blogger.com
