New Lenses

[ndrosen]

I paid a visit to the optometrist this morning, and she recommended new lenses, and perhaps even a new frame, so I could use the old glasses as a spare. The frame does not need to be replaced, the optician told me, so I’m just going with new lenses. If I understood the optometrist correctly, I am actually a bit less nearsighted than I was two years ago, but that is reason to get different progressive lenses, in order to see more clearly and avoid eye strain. Since my job calls for me to spend many hours reading and writing, and since I do more in my leisure time, I will go with the new lenses.

If I had known that I would need a crown on one of my molars this year, and then new lenses, I would have socked away more untaxed dollars into my FSAFEDS account. However, perhaps I can console myself by the reflection that I’m doing my little bit to reduce the federal deficit.

After several years, my prescription had changed enough, I had to get new lenses this year, too. It was a relief to be able to re-use the frames. Goodness knows, with all the add-ons [progressive, transitions, anti-glare, etc.], it's expensive enough; every bit I can save helps. They're working great. I hope yours are doing well for you.
