The medical industry has earned a special place in my skeptical heart: I only tend to patronize it every couple of years or so, or at least when the need is pressing.
That need came again recently.
I spend a huge chunk of my life in front of the computer at work and, to a diminishing degree, at home. Enough so that I have noticed my near-range vision start to get fuzzier and more difficult to focus. This culminated into an amusing trip to the optometrist this morning.
Much to my optometrist's chagrin, my vision was discovered to be better than perfect. I guess I don't feel bad for not having visited an optometrist in over 15 years now. In any case, the only major defect is that my eyes suffer from focusing fatigue. For this, I now have a prescription for incredibly low-strength reading glasses.
I am thoroughly excited but a bit daunted by the pressure of choosing the frame aesthetics. Anyone have useful advice for my dear face?
The sad thing part of today's outcome is that my optometrist is totally rad for a medical professional and that my eyes' lack of aberrance will diminish the need to visit her in the future.

I can relate on some level to the need for glasses. After not visiting one for several years, the first time I went I was told that I would need them eventually, but not right now. y subsequent visit 2 years later returned the same results. I did finally break down and get them intending only to wear them when driving, but once I put them on, i could not take them off. It is truly amazing the things I see now that I didn't see before and didn't realize I was missing. I've been wearing them for a month now and I still occasionally call my best gf Sam, who helped me decided to get them, and say things like "leaves on trees Sam, LEAVES ON TREES!!"
As for general appearance, as you'll only be using them for reading, something lightweight and anti-reflective. It keeps the glare down from the screen and surrounding light sources. Ja ne
