zimena: (Nature - Moon)
I'm getting new glasses. Went for a new eyesight test yesterday, and things had changed enough for me to need a new pair. The new ones have red temples, but almost no frame around the lenses. They're not super noticeable when I wear them, actually. When I looked in the mirror at the shop, it almost felt like I didn't have glasses on at all, which was kind of cool.

I've used glasses since I was a teen, apart from for a couple of years in my early 20s when I used mainly contacts instead. However, apart from my very first pair, I've always had colourful frames - blue, purple, pink... My idea was always that I might as well make them stand out, if I have to wear them anyway.

So, in that sense, the new ones will be a different style. I'm excited about the change, but also a bit nervous because I'll need to adjust to the new kind of lenses. Will get them in about 2 weeks' time.
