My New Glasses

For the last 3 years my eye sight has been getting worse, so on Friday I finally went into Lens Crafter and got an eye exam. As I expected, I was in need of glasses. I picked out frames before closing time and went in Saturday afternoon to pick them up.

I'm near-sighted, but it's amazing how much I haven't been seeing. It's really hard to explain, but I really didn't realize how much glasses could help.

I haven't quite gotten used to my reflection with glasses and I may eventually look into contacts, but I wanted to try glasses first. I think I look okay, but like I said it's going to take some getting used to.

I'm getting a car in about 2 months, so I thought before I took my Illinois driving test I should probably get my eyes checked out. I definately have mixed feelings about having a car. It's been about 6 years since I owned a car and I vow to never live in a city where I have to have a car to survive, but it will be nice to have a car for road trips to Ann Arbor or upstate New York (where Wade's mom lives and my dad plans to move).

Enjoy these pictures of me in my new glasses. I have 30 days to return the frames, so please let me know how I look
