The inevitable ., ., ., .,

Well, I had my Optometrist visit on Monday; the astigmatisms is now worse and the dreaded ReAdInG-Bi-Focals were suggested... Yes, I just sat there and wept

You got alot of attention when you added the suit...
You might have MORE stalkers if you add the brainy-intellectual look! :roll:

Got my bi-focals 2 years ago....it is definitely a milestone. My husband picked out the glasses (sleek black frame) and he loves the look! I have astigmatism as well and I beleive they have surgery for that now. I'll settle for the glasses for a while longer.

Mr OM had the same thing a few weeks ago. Sadly, I am so blind that my eyes have been 20/400 since 12 years old. I don't know what I'd do with bifocals, though. I'd be dazed and confused from the differences in the lenses.

I did a hair commercial a year or so ago; i guess now I will settle for a stable middle aged glasses wearing brainy dude

I asked my gorgeous 23yr old Dr. if I could just have arm extentions.... She said I should try a near sited contact in one eye and the astig. in the other.... Your Hubby has good TASTE

Just learn to whip them off impetuously and then raise the end of one arm (of the glasses, silly) to your lips, studying a matter thoughtfully, while absentmindedly touching your lips with the outstretched arm. Hot. ;-)

Whew!!!!!

I am just about blind - which is funny since I'm an artist. My astigmatism combined with nearsightedness is so bad that soon they will not make lenses that are strong enough for me. Even the "thin" glasses are thick-nerdy-deluxe for me, so I feel your pain, Biff! But Truffle Anne is right - the brainy intellectual look is great too!

glasses are cool!

, I'll GO WITH IT!!!!!!!

Yup, My Doc. suggested the latest and greatest SUPER THIN poly carbs; but I am just going to hold off Crap; I cant even read a car tag without my contacts

Biff, you will be very distinguished looking! Just get yourself some really snazzy jazzy frames that speak your personality.

I second that. My husband looks tres sexy with his reading glasses on. ;-)

Coke is still making glass bottles aren't they? :funn:

Good grief Biffy. Put on yer big girl panties and get in the real, reading glasses wearing world. They won't slow you down a bit.

Or, as Kate would tell you. "Build a bridge and get over it.":roll:

You can always tell when someone has already passed over the bifocal bridge.

Yes- 5 years ago. Funny how you can't go back.

And panic is not having a pair of readers at your fingertips.

I would be wearing them, if a tiny munchkin hadn't broken them about 3 years ago. My "thin" lenses are super thick in comparison also. Thank goodness for contacts, cuz my peripheral vision sucks in glasses!

As I sit here and realize I forgot my friggin' eye appt was yesterday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:shock: It will be a few weeks longer before I have new glasses!

Got mine on! Hey, anyone got a smiley with sexy, intellectual-reading-glasses-look? ;-)

Sorry about the coke bottle line. Lord forgive me....and be with the starving pigmy's in New Guinea.

I still don't have glasses. Last one in my family still in denial. I was always that person who would see the rabbit hiding under the bush when we drove by it. Got lucky there. Wonder if I could trade a bit of vision for thicker hair. I got robbed in that department.....literally.

Biff, get sunglasses too. You'll need them down here in Florida.

Amen. I have them stashed away in every room.

ASH - just another reason to recycle! Coke bottles would be sooo much cheaper!

P.S. - Watch out, ASH---I'm wearing the supernerd glasses right now, and all eyes are on you!

My mother has reading glasses stashed in every room, but in public she just uses her kids as "readers." :rofl:
