I wear my sunglasses at night...
Dec. 15th, 2007 06:33 pm...and through the day, since the frame of my regular glasses snapped last night, near one end of the wire bridge. No way to fix it on Shabbat, and the momentary terror before I remembered I had prescription sunglasses, however nonideal they were, was not good. I'm really not functional without eye correction...
I was doubly lucky tonight, though: 4Eyes was open until 6 (read: a good hour after Shabbat ended) and had a pair of frames in stock that my lenses would fit. Just one pair, but one is good enough.
This was definitely a wake-up call to get my eyes checked for the year and get a new pair of glasses if at all necessary (which would leave me the current ones as back up, and the sunglasses after that). I've deferred getting new ones partly because my prescription hadn't changed much, and partly because it's such a pain to pick out frames when I can't see what I look like in them, since I'm not wearing contacts.
