ALL EYES ON DECK

I decided to give contact lenses a try. I only have to wear glasses when I read or work on a computer. Which is basically all day (work). And of course they are bifocals. Well here my daughter and I go to get our eyes checked. She was very disappointed when they told her she had 20/20 vision. Ain't that a kick in the head. A teenager who wants to have bad eyes. She thought she was going to get some colored contacts. The doc told us she could get some with just the color in them. Of course that started a very good "debate" between she and I. I won't pay for something that isn't needed. Plus you take a chance of getting eye infections. She said she would pay for them herself. Needless to say I won. The rule in my house is that I am the boss and I will ALWAYS win all arguments. At least with her. Then it was my turn. I already knew what he was going to tell me. I just had to let him do his thing (just check my eyes folks). To wear contacts that are bifocal you have to give up some of the ability to see farther away. Now I can see a road sign a mile away when I am driving. With these things in it is like-I don't quite know how to describe it-anything 10 feet in front of my truck looks like it has a halo around it. So I guess I will go back tomorrow and get me a new pair of specs. I don't like wearing glasses. Call it vanity or whatever. But to be able to see to read or do my job I have to. My old eyes just can't see all this little stuff. Why don't they make something to make our old bodies not wear out? Boy I wish I could invent something. I wouldn't have to worry about reading then!! I just wish more good-looking men would become eye doctors. I would rather have one of them leaning over me than a short rather chubby old one with very bad breath checking my eyes. Well we can't have everything!
