Glasses

Turns out the "in" thing to do is see your local optometrist, so I decided to follow suit and schedule my own appointment. Big mistake!! After several invasive eye tests (I'm weird about eye touching and probing), I learned that I don't have glacoma, I probably don't have an eye or brain tumor, but lucky for me I have an astigmatism (thanks to everyone who pointed out that it's not "a stigmatism", it's an "astigmatism"). Obviously I was devastated by this news. After 25 years of enjoying (and bragging about) perfect 20/20, my vision had been compromised by old age. Against my better judgement, I decided not to get a second opinion (even though I felt I could see just fine) and embrace glasses. For those of you struggling with the same decision, here is Shee's list of pros and cons:

Pros:
-you look smart
-people take you seriously
-if you wear them while watching tv, you get the experience of high definition television (unless you're already rich enough to experience such luxuries)
-once blurry objects now make more sense

Cons:
-you spend more time cleaning them than actually wearing them
-you spend more time pushing them up on your nose than actually wearing them
-you look like a nerd
-you start to rely on them way too much
-you see things and people more clearly than necessary (please keep nose hairs trimmed!)
