My New glasses

Well… My glasses have come. They are retro, tortoiseshell, big, thick lenses, my eyes look like an owls in them and I now have an air of Eric Morecambe.

They are twice as heavy as the old ones. You can really feel them on my face.

They are much more magnified than the last lot. These are really doing a good job. Anything I’m reading is abit more defined. The phone I’m holding, is now further away. I now realise I maybe should have changed them sooner, but then that would be getting silly as I only got the old ones May last year.
These really are something else.
More magnifying glasses than… erm… Reading glasses.

They have to be big as I need the peripheral vision unobstructed.
But…they are so much better than the others I had. The others obviously weren’t working as I could walk around in them and they are readers. These, you definitely can’t.
Hopefully these will last a while now and stay helping me as they are doing.
As I’ve said before, they can’t fill in the blank areas, move the annoying the black floaters, but they do make the letters I can see sharper. so up until a time they can’t help me anymore I will keep on keeping on.
Bye bye little glasses… Hello windscreens ☺
