You know you’re an old fart when going to the eye doctor is a major event. I ordered two new pairs of glasses. This time the progressives will also be transitions. Oooooh, babie!
Warby Parker's quality is...unimpressive. Is there a better place to get decent frames? These are a year old and that gross bubbling thing in the plastic is already happening at the nose
I even paid extra for the super ultra mega thinnest possible lenses and...they're not really much thinner at all. Oh and my idiot bitch vision insurance didn't reimburse me at all because vision insurance is a scam don't get it
US CPSC: "Don't report the eclipse. We're not going up there to investigate.... Do report any unsafe eclipse glasses down here on Earth." #eclipse#safety#glasses
Research shows that glasses that have a filter for blue light to protect you from light emitted from computer screens do not help your eyes.
An optometrist encouraged me to pay more for glasses that provide protection from blue light about 5 years ago. When I got them I complained that they made things look yellow. The optometrist said I would get used to them and would not notice.
I got used to them. I ended up telling a graphic designer who I was working with that her designs had too much brown in them. It was the glasses. I apologised and spent a lot of money replacing the lenses. #glasses#BlueLight

Trying on my pinkish lipsticks as a screen test🌺
Kinda tempted to record a video in which I'd show off my entire collection😍
It includes a lot of really awesome indie brands that sadly went out of business, destroyed by Sephora😢
My eyeglasses are being held together with superglue and I just got my new prescription. Where are people buying eyeglasses online nowadays? In the past I’ve gone through Zenni and a couple others. Just trying to see if anything has changed as of late.
So I've recently become one of the people who have to regularly take their glasses off in order to see certain distances. I've asked my ophthalmologist, and there is no technology (e.g. varifocals or contact lenses) that I can use to avoid this action at the moment.
When I do take my glasses off, I am currently biting the legs in order to keep them handy. This is, at best, unsightly. I cannot keep them on the end of my nose (too big), or lift them up onto my hair (too greasy).
So I'm considering buying a glasses cord and let them dangle when they're off.
I'm just wondering - fedi #glasses wearers - what other options do I have to keep them handy? Alternatively, what cool variations can you recommend on the trusty glasses cord?
