Too bad you couldn’t get stock lenses. I’ve always had to wait for mine!
I discovered once that some of our plastic drinking glasses have the curvature in the bottom that actually lets me focus on things.
So if ever I have to go all Burgess Meredith on the world, at least I have a plan.
Come to think of it, I’ve always had to wait for my glasses, too. When I was a kid, it was because we lived in a town 60 miles from the nearest optician, so once our eyes were examined and the frames picked out (do they realize how hard it is to see what you look like when you have no lenses in the frames...???) we had to wait two weeks.
The glasses would come by mail. Oh happy day! It seems one or both of us had to have new lenses and/or frames every six to eight months.
If I didn’t have sicca syndrome, I’d go back to contacts, but my eyes are too dry, now.
