New glasses time

[zimena]

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.

I'm also getting new glasses in two or three weeks. The thing that has struck me the last couple of times I've been choosing new frames is that after some years of frames being small, now they've veered back to being very big again. I preferred the smaller ones, but you have to take what's on offer, and if I live long enough, maybe the small ones will come back into fashion.
