My mother used to say that it was a good thing that I had such perfect teeth, because my eyesight sucked. (No, of course she didn't say "suck"). My siblings and I all had glasses from an early age. I remember my first pair: they were pink with silvery sparkles. I loved them. Then I got sophisticated and moved up to the blue ones with sparkles. Finally in college I got contacts, and my social life picked up immediately.
Above is my eyewear wardrobe. Every day I get to mix and match.
1. From the front: stylish no-line sunglasses with reader lenses (for reading by the pool while wearing contacts).
2. My "regular" sport sunglasses (to wear with contacts)
3. Prescription sunglasses - kind of dorky because I had some old bifocals tinted, but they work.
4. My reading glasses that I wear OVER my contacts*
5. My prescription glasses
6. My contacts
*Because I'm extremely nearsighted while at the same time losing my ability to focus closely, my contacts correct for distance and I have to wear reading glasses to see the computer or anything else within four feet.
Sometimes I think I should give it all up and just wear glasses. But putting aside my fragile vanity, I see much better with contacts.
Myopia + presbyopia + astigmatism + glaucoma. I think I'd choose cavities.
