Reading Glasses

[poliphilo]

I have a pair of reading glasses. I never needed them before and I'm still getting used to them. I'm wearing them now. The screen in front of me is beautifully clear. But their focal length is limited and if I get up from the table the world will turn all peculiar and I'll have to swap them for my long distance ones. Yesterday I was walking round with one pair on my nose the other pushed halfway up my forehead like a nutty professor. It's not such a bad look, actually...

Ah! Reading glasses. I've needed them since age 40, and even with laser surgery to fix my distance vision, of course I still need readers.

Welcome to the club. Most of us have several pair lying about, because you'll take them off in one room and go about your business before you realize you need them again... in another room.

I like the visual idea of two pair at once!

Ailz wants me to wear one pair on a chain round my neck, but I think they'd get in the way.

I haven't tried a chain yet, but I probably should.
