Going to eye doctor isn’t like going to dentist, although it can cost just as much…or more. I haven’t worn contacts in quite some time. Ever since my last pack ran out I’ve just been wearing my glasses. Frankly, at that point in time I was happy to start wearing glasses. You can only go through the routine of poking yourself in the eye so many times before it just gets old - putting on glasses is just a heck of a lot easier.
But then when driving I noticed my glasses vision wasn’t what it used to be. My glasses Rx is older than my last set of contacts, so it’s not exactly current. However, with my increased computer time at work I feared my eyesight had dropped a few more points.
But, as luck has it, my eyes haven’t gotten any worse! Yay me! So I just ordered new contacts and then the unexpected venture of the morning, picking out new glasses. And I mean new frames. Talk about suck.
I am perfectly happy with the frames I have, but yet I need to get new frames? That’s dumb. The docs should have a way to make lenses with the new Rx that fit my old frames. I might actually call and ask again just to see if there answer is the same because the new frames I picked out, while not bad, would ont have been my first pick had they not been the best of the selection offered.
And once again, the selection for men was limited. But having been on many shopping trips into the women’s section, they have about 500 rows of everything - shoes, purses, makeup, socks, etc - us men? We get one aisle, if we’re lucky. So there’s an entire wall of women’s frames but only one rack of mens, stuck next to the kids, of course.
I like to shop. Shopping doesn’t bother me because 99% of the time I don’t buy a thing, it’s just window shopping. However, if the selection was somewhat top notch for me, I would be more inclined to buy. I like buying clothes as much as the next girl, but I don’t have the choices. Give me choices and I have more opportunity to purchase - it’s a simple concept.
