See Change

Well, it was time to go to the optometrist. I wanted to switch back to contacts, but I also wanted to get lenses put in a pair of 18th-century glasses for when I do interpretive history work at St. Augustine.

I checked with the optometrist downtown, just for convenience's sake. For an eye exam and the custom lenses (not including the price of contacts), they were asking $300.

This morning, I went to Karen's optometrist. Exam, custom lenses, and two pairs of two-week disposable contact lenses: $78.

It's weird being back in contacts. I keep reaching up to adjust my glasses, and they're not there. An unexpected bonus: my eyes are both at the same prescription, so I don't have to bother with that whole left/right thing when I'm putting them in or taking them out. Uh... the lenses, that is, not my eyes.

It's very disturbing when a woman says that, sweetie.
