So we've disassembled the sectional sofa, moved couches, chairs, tables, lamps, and assorted what-not ... shampooed the carpet, hung the new curtain rod & valance, and are now putting the furniture back, slowly, as the carpet dries.
In the midst of all this, I got a call from the optician, who received my multi-focal contacts - and nothing would do but I had to right now, or he wouldn't be able to fit me in until Wednesday. Sigh.
What the heck; I wasn't doing anything, anyway.
So I have new glasses, single-vision long-distance contacts, and now the multi-focal contacts. I'm beginning to wonder if it's all worth it. The last time I had contacts, some 25+ years ago, my vision with them was better than with glasses ... as both eyes were 20/10 with the lenses in.
Of course, that was before bifocals, dang it. This time 'round, it's a bit different. So I have long- and middle-distance in my right lens, and middle- and reading-distance in the left. This will take some getting used to, and although my eyes managed to sort things out fairly quickly, reading was still an issue. Then when I put the glasses back on after three hours, it took nearly 20 minutes for my eyes to begin working together again.
As my double-nickel birthday approaches, I have to ask if it's worth the struggle ... and I'm still correctable to 20/15 vision with the glasses. Maybe I should just leave well enough alone.
Psalm 22:27-28: “All the ends of the world shall remember and turn to the Lord, and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee. For the kingdom is the Lord's, and he ruleth among the nations.”

I've had bifocal contacts now for about 5 years. I'm up to the top strength on the bifocal part. I LOVE them for working on my computer, but they are really difficult for teeny print in dim light. So when we go out to dinner, I wear my glasses then I can read the menu. LOL.
