Because one pair of glasses is never enough when you are blind
I can’t see. I need lots of help and since somebody has regressed and isn’t sleeping through the night anymore, I depend on my glasses more and more.
Late at night when I have to feed her, gotta have my glasses. I’ve gone into her room before sans-glasses…and with the dark and my blindness, I crash into things, like the door and her crib. No joke!
It’s so bad that if I don’t know where my glasses were last set down, or they get knocked off my bedside table, I’ve usually got to ask for help to find them. No matter what color they are, they blend in with the carpet when my vision is so blurry.
Since I’m close to blind (-5 point something in each eye, with astigmatisms), having an extra pair or two of glasses is nice. If I can’t find one pair, I can usually find another. Now, in my over 20 years of wearing glasses, this is the first time I’ve had two pairs of glasses. And, it’s possible when you can get glasses of my prescription strength at such a good price, dare I say inexpensively at places like GlobalEyeGlasses.com! They have glasses with lenses starting at $19! I’ve never had a pair of glasses that cheap.
Not only are they inexpensive, but they are pretty cute, too. They have many different styles from trendy to modern to chic and sophisticated.
