The Optometrist

So today I went and had my eyes checked out by the optometrist. Everything looked okay from his perpective ...
 

I have the expected presbyoptic changes associated with my ever advancing age but there are no diabetic changes and the cataracts aren't even close to being ready to remove.

Glasses were an arm and a leg. I was trying to skate under $200. Dream on. They were in excess of $500 and I ended up running to the bank for a cashiers check rather than hit my checking account or credit card for the fundage.

The guy told me that the glasses weren't going to make a significant difference in my vision because my prescription hadn't changed much ... my blur is due to the cataracts.

All-in-all with the insurance coverage I did squeak by in that range I was expecting to pay.

Now for the new specs to replace these for which I manufactured a nose piece from a couple of O rings and some superglue.

They will still work in a pinch if I lose the new ones temporarily as sometimes happens.
