Glasses

How it started:

How it’s going:

This is my prescription:

I think it means nearsightedness. I’m mostly fine with close-up objects (like my phone/computer), but things 10+ feet away are blurry. The glasses help! Nice for driving and being inside large buildings.

As my vision got worse, I honestly thought I just had watery eyes a lot, and that caused the blur.

I got prescription sunglasses, too. I got a buy-two discount from Warby Parker, where I went in person to pick out glasses, plus my insurance covered part of it. It was a fairly nice experience, and the glasses arrived relatively quickly. I already want to buy an alternate pair just for styling options.

I’m trying to ride the big change to my face with an attitude change too, leaning into the “personality-free dad in the school drop-off line” I was born to be. OK, I’m off to make banal comments about newspaper headlines over white toast.
