daily slice-of-life photo blog of a Gen-X dad
My new glasses arrived and I love how they look (the bottom pair), however the lenses are a bit “off” and they are worse than my old glasses. I think the PD (distance between pupils) measurement is off, which is odd because it is fine with my old glasses. I am going to return the new glasses (for a full refund) and then decide what to do. Bummer because I love the frames. 🙁
I went for my annual eye exam today and my vision hasn’t changed that much, which is nice. But I really wanted to update my prescription so I can get a new pair of glasses. I want to try some clear plastic frames, but I’ll keep my current glasses to use as sunglasses when I go running. What do you think of these?
こんばんは。How’s it going?
Today I received my new glasses in the mail, which was a nice surprise because they were scheduled to arrive on Saturday. Yay! In the photo above, they are the ones in the middle. 👓
I am pretty happy and excited because this is the first time for me to use glasses with progressive lenses. For the past year, I’ve been alternating between distance glasses and reading/computer glasses, which was ok, but a bit inconvenient. But now with these new progressive lenses, I shouldn’t have to keep switching! The big difference now is during driving. When I used to drive, I’d just use my distance glasses, but that meant the dashboard area was kind of blurry. But now the dash and center console is sharp and readable. It’s great! 😄
Even though the progressives are convenient, I am going to keep using my reading/computer glasses for when I am in front of the big monitors. That’s because the progressive lenses’ focus area is not large enough to cover a huge portion of the computer screen. However, I think I can retire my old distance glasses, or maybe keep them in the car just in case. 🤔
FYI, I have been buying my glasses from Eyebuydirect.com for a few years now. They are super inexpensive, but I’ve been very happy with the quality. If you want to give them a try, please use this link, which includes my referral code. 🙏
I hope you had a nice day!
