My new set of eyes

Recently I had to change my specs as I couldn't really see the presentations if I was sitting way at the back in the office. Then when I had to read reports, I needed to focus a while before the words became clear. (Signs of ageing, they tell me!)

I find it a real pain to make pair of multi focal specs. It took me a while (like weeks) to adjust to my first pair of multi focal specs. I think the optician was really tired of seeing me. So much adjustments had to be made until she had to make a new pair of lenses for me. Then she cracked one of my lenses during one of those trips to see her and she had to make another one.

Now after two years, I dreaded going back to make new pair. But this time, she had a ultra light frame and it was much lighter than my current pair. It was really tempting and it was time to check my eyes. Sure enough my power has increased, and new pair of multi focal specs was a must.

As expected, the first few days I tried my new pair, my eyes felt really tired and sore. So here I was going back to the optician like every 4 or 5 days. On my last trip, I saw her really bending my soecs frame just to get the position right. It seemed ok now and I hope I don't need to go back.

I have been seeing a few people wearing this type of sunglasses that you wear over your specs. My mum and my sis has one. My other half has been trying to buy one. So one my last trip to the optician, I asked her if she had this type of sunglasses for sale. Or course, she had two pairs, one in large size, the other in medium size. I saw the price which was 3 figures. In my mind, I thought I won't buy and just stick to changing to my sun glasses whenever I needed to use it.


Then she said, "For you, I give you RM**.00. It was quite cheap, so I bought one. My pre teen says I look like terminator and she looks like a bumble bee when she wears the sunglasses.
