New Glasses

image

First progressives too. I am now that age after all.

New Glasses


For the first time in years. The ones I was wearing were actually two sets ago. The last set I lost in the ocean in Florida about six years ago after only having them about a year. So I reverted to my previous pair, which probably were of mid-90s vintage. and they were very very very scratched up at this point.

So all I can say now is, oh my gosh, I can SEE!
