i have big pupils!

Ok, that is not a commentary on any of my students – past, present or future. I had my eyes checked and dilated today! Wow, I don’t know that I’ve had that done since I was a child.   I really haven’t had any problems, except when I passed 40 and had trouble reading the fine print.  Especially on kid’s medicine bottles.  Since that started around 6 or 7 years ago, ahem,  I’ve been using reading glasses, or cheaters as some have called them.  I definitely need them all the time for reading now.  But my eye test today showed that I am farsighted and not 20/20 anymore. But he said 20/30 is not so bad, and I must agree, quickly approaching 50 years of age.   The eye doc said I can get by with readers for now, unless I want to shell out about $220 + frames  for progressive lenses – no-line BIFOCALS.  Yes, I said BiFocals.  That sounds like something for old people and I refuse to think of myself as old. Plus, does anyone have  a coupon for that?

    I have bifocals too! Girlfriend, it is just time. Get the no-line kind so nobody else can tell. The best part is that you won’t have to look over the top of the glasses anymore(but you will anyway).

    I would price them at a warehouse club and at WalMart in addition to your usual source. We get Brendan’s glasses at WalMart for $40 complete. Bifocals, of course, will be more.
