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
"Important: We do not recommend searching for eclipse glasses on Amazon, eBay, Temu, or any other online marketplace and buying from whichever vendor offers the lowest price. Before you buy a solar viewer or filter online, we recommend that you make sure that (1) the seller is identified on the site and (2) the seller is listed on this page." #eclipse#safety#glasses
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.
One of the tenets of Dungeons & Dragons is that your character can be anything. Well nearly anything. There are certain limitations on races, mostly due to fantasy tropes. Those continue to expand. The embrace of characters with crutches, wheelchairs, and other ambulatory aids continues. Official books always include art showing these samples.
While the movement towards inclusion of disabled people as potential heroes is slow. It is there. This is wonderful. Because everyone deserves representation. Everyone should have the choice to see themselves as a hero.
Me? I wear glasses. Have all my life. This includes when I was a cartoon superhero as a linguist in the 5th Special Forces. On the range? Glasses. Jumping out of airplanes? Glasses. Setting det-cord? Glasses. Giving an IV? Glasses.
But how would my character where glasses? How could I play this?
My next D&D character is a glasses wearer.
They carry dozens of lenses for varied uses. One of the land’s best archers, they can shoot a bee’s nest at 300 lengths.
Once a truffle hunter always paying attention what was close, they now look afar, constantly.

Wearers of eyeglasses or spectacles have their vision corrected to normal within the world.
* any player who wants to start their character with lenses should be permitted at no cost.
Now, you may ask — what happens if they get knocked off?
First, I say? Whatever. No, seriously, is your game a constant barrage of disarming player characters of their weapons, shields, and spell components? If not, then don’t worry about it. If you do run that kind of game, then use the same rules for other disarms and expect that characters would carry an extra set of lenses, as I did when I was a cartoon superhero. Maybe their next attack is at disadvantage if you feel cruelty is necessary in your game of heroics.
Those rules are rather unnecessary. My glasses fell off once during training exercises that involved nearly the highest level of training in the US Army (I was SOT-A, not tabbed).
Hero Forge, DM Heroes, ReRoll, Never Ending all have glasses options for art. Currently DnD Beyond does not. You’ll have to load your own, but that should be corrected, because D&D is for everybody.
Do you wear glasses or lenses? Why?
