After laser eye surgery a few years ago, I no longer need glasses for distance. But I still need them for reading. I'm constantly taking them off and forgetting where I left them, so I have pairs lying all over the house!
Most come from Michael's Craft Store, regular price under $5, but less with a 50% discount coupon!
I don't mind all that much when they break - which they do! Or if I leave them behind. I only stop using them when
both arms (or "temples") come off! They still work fine with one!
Recently, (thanks to a very generous "family and friends discount"), I became the recipient of a "real" pair of reading glasses - from a fancy firm called "
Cutler and Gross"!
I love them - but I'm afraid I might lose them or break them... so I don't take them out with me.
They've become my glasses for sitting at home and reading (or blogging or quilting or knitting or...
whatever!)
The clear plastic on top means I have no colored frame distraction when they perch halfway down my nose and I peer over the top!
(Oh, the things that are important to 70-year-olds!!)
