My new glasses arrived. Except for staying in the mailbox too long and being extremely cold (the day peaked at 17° ), they were perfect. I'll order additional sets so that I have backups in case a pair breaks or is lost. After all, they're just $5.95/pair + shipping.

It's nice to be able to see again. I had been functioning with store-bought reading glasses which were wrong both because my computer screen is too far away and because my left eye is different than my right. It must be ten years since I've seen well at that distance.

When you don't see well, you make a lot of dumb mistakes. Now that my vision is finally fixed, I'll need a new excuse.

In January, I went to MyEyeDr, a local chain, and had my eyes checked. It was something my regular doctor wanted. I hadn't had 'em checked for five years or so, and it only cost me the five-dollar copay. Everything was fine except my vision. I had them write me up some prescriptions - one for distance, one for reading and one for "computer" - which means a little farther away than reading and that was that. I wasn't interested in any of their $200 glasses, just the 'scrips.

Today I spent a little time at PayneGlasses.com picking out frames. I wanted single vision lenses and none of the frills. No tinting. No scratch resistance. No extra-skinny lenses. And it was okay with me if the frames make women run in terror. The final price? $5.95 each. Not bad! That was the final price WITH the lenses.

All totaled, I'm out $4.95 for shipping, $17.85 for glasses, and $5.00 for the exam. A total of $27.80 and three pairs of glasses, shown to the right, are on their way.
