I went and bought new glasses.<\/p>\n<p>I honestly can\u2019t remember the last time I bought a pair of specs. I have a pair I would wear around the house \u2013 and around town when I didn\u2019t feel like wearing my contacts \u2013 but they had the trifecta of an out-of-date prescription, an unflattering look and hopelessly scratched lenses.<\/p>\n<p>I really wonder how I didn\u2019t hurt myself or someone else wearing these things.<\/p>\n<p>I got a new prescription earlier this year, but procrastinated on getting new glasses.\u00a0\u00a0I don\u2019t care how much I have grown up. I hate wearing glasses. I started wearing them in fourth or fifth grade and the stigma of pre-teen teasing has never really gone away.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, I went out and got new contacts right away. I have worn them pretty much full time since I turned 15 so I always consider them a priority.<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->Glasses could wait. When my daughter recently found out she needed glasses, I told her she should feel lucky to have a choice of cool frames and styles available.<\/p>\n<p>I didn\u2019t have that luxury as a kid. If I had a choice, it came down to the big ugly black frames versus the big ugly brown frames. I still can\u2019t fully appreciate the hilarity of photos from that era.<\/p>\n<p>I haven\u2019t seen much change over time. I never really felt I could find a pair of glasses I thought looked good. In fact, the thickness of my lenses disqualified many acceptable choices over the years.<\/p>\n<p>But I sucked it up and went to a downtown optometrist to find a new pair of specs. I promised myself I would actually find something that looked good to my wife and I in hopes that I would wear the glasses more often.<\/p>\n<p>For the first time in my life, I got a real explanation for why some kinds of framers just didn\u2019t work for my eyes. That ruled out the rimless frames we both liked. In the end, I paid a premium price for a fairly indestructible pair of frames that actually don\u2019t make me cringe.<\/p>\n<p>I have worn my glasses a bunch of times over the past week or so, diligently cleaning them any time I see even a speck of dust on one of the frames. I want to take better care of them this time around.<\/p>\n<p>The way I see it, as long as I keep them clean and manage to not break them, I don\u2019t ever have to talk to anyone about glasses again and can perpetually put off the question of bifocals.<\/p>\n<p>That is, until I walk into a wall or misread the directions on a food box and ruin dinner one night. Then I might think about maybe making an eye doctor appointment if it happens again.<\/p>\n<p>I actually like how I look in these glasses. I can\u2019t mess this up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About a year ago, I lamented in a\u00a0column\u00a0about changes in my eyesight.
