Hey, Four-Eyes!

[ornoth]

Two weeks ago, as I mentioned in a previous post, I had my first eye exam in pretty much ever. Over the past year, my ability to resolve fine print has deteriorated noticeably. The only reason why I delayed the exam was to wait for work to implement its planned vision care benefit.

I think you chose well. They look good.

Picking glasses is hard, even for those of us who've been doing it for decades. It's even worse if your vision without glasses is bad enough that you can't clearly see yourself in the frames you're trying on.

[ornoth]

Yeah, they'd dilated me beforehand, but that wasn't too much of an issue. Glad you approve, tho. They seem to have passed group muster...

[cvirtue]

I think they look very good on you.

(I'm squeamish about my eyes -- laser surgery would do me a lot of good, but the thought of the procedure, and what might go wrong, and what about when I'm 70, is more than enough to make it not-interesting.)

Thanks for the feedback.

Lasix seems pretty painless from what I hear, although I'm like you -- very squicky about my eyes. But one person had legal blindness cut to almost right, then went back and had it corrected again (results promising but pending). I can't imagine it, either!

yup yup, going in for lasik enhancement tomorrow... :)
but yea, these are reasonable, but not quite you. i think next time i'm in town maybe we'll go get you something a bit more interesting. reading glasses are super cheap (especially compared to the crazy prescriptions i used to get!)

[ornoth]

Eh, not so cheap, really, at least the framez. And I only get insurance framez every two years. I'll be curious to see what you think is more me tho...

Given the background and how clearly you are in focus....

you look like you're on CNN. ;)

They look good.

[ornoth]

Hehe! Yeah, I suppose I could rent my place out to a news show, if they didn't use static backdrops anyways. I wonder if that's a viable career choice: out-of-focus backdrop photographer?

Thanks for the feedback, yo!

looks good. Now with a black turtle neck and jeans and you all set to be on stage with Steve Jobs.

[ornoth]

Ha! I actually thot about wearing one of my several black mock turtles from Bean's! I'll have to someday. And give a pres with only one word per slide...
