As much as I don’t really like the style of these sunglasses and so wish I could wear my funky blue, tortoishell mirrored ones that I’ve kept but are pretty redundant as eye protection for me now.
On a sunny autumn day on the bus with the glare shining through the window, my eyes are at least comfortable and protected in these.
I don’t have to worry if the sun is shining in. The glare shining off cars, metal things, signs or suddenly the brightness around a corner suddenly hitting you in the eye and temporarily blinding you for a few minutes while you panic and try to adjust. No more of that for me.
They have handy blocked out sides to them so the edges of your eyes are protected too.
Everyone, not just myself, should protect their own eyes from the harmful rays. You don’t really want to be joining the groups I attend ☺
I was on the bus attending another Sightloss group social evening that my friends have set up in another part of the city where I live.
It took an hour to get there, on a bus that I only knew the destination. I didn’t know where I was half the time.
At this point I’m very confident on buses after stopping driving years ago.
It just shows you that if you suddenly cannot drive for any reason, you CAN adapt and get about. I really enjoy it now. It wasn’t easy. I was used to driving for 29 years, but it’s like a little adventure everytime.
Hopefully the group will become as popular as the one in my home town.
People with sightloss, meeting up to meet a new social group, make new friends and have a support system available to them. A natter, with a cuppa or a cocktail to drink while your at it.
