I was surprised to find out that after almost 4 years, my vision is exactly the same. The optometrist had to double check, and she smirked, &#8220;&#8230; they are pretty close. Hold on. (pause while she checked the lenses again). Nope. Your prescription is exactly the same. That&#8217;s good news.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>We spoke about laser eye surgery, and with my vision not being as terrible as others, it may help me later down the road. I&#8217;ve contemplated it before but never really looked into pricing and practice and such. I want to have a serious sit down and talk with the wife before anything is started. I think I enjoy the idea of wearing glasses. It has kind of defined me over lifetime, like a tattoo or a visible scar, it&#8217;s part of the persona.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve worn chique-geek glasses before it was a fad. I&#8217;ve rocked brands from Hakim in-house to Georgio Armani. I&#8217;ve gone round, rectangle, oval, metal, plastic, frameless&#8230; the whole lot. It&#8217;s time to change it up a bit. I loved plastic frames (no pads) and I figured since they ones available are all black geek frames, I&#8217;d go with sporty clear\/crystal frames. Yes! Clear frames on a black guy. Funny, I know. I always want to stand out somehow. Thought about red, but retracted that thought after I saw red frames on a black dude. Good for fashion catalogues, not for everyday use.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m happy to say with these new glasses comes a little newer me. I&#8217;ve been slow coming into a new age of me. With a little exercise, a new trim and summer gear, more creative output, and my son to fuel my purpose, I&#8217;m now able to portray a refreshed physical and mental look. Maybe it&#8217;s me getting into Daddy Mode, maybe it&#8217;s just time to dig in and start planting seeds for my future. Or just maybe I&#8217;m reading too much into it.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s nice every once in a while to get new things. Glasses are a good start.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>http:\/\/www.posheyes.co.uk\/acatalog\/police_1650prod.jpg I&#8217;ve decided to finally get new glasses, after a 4 year stint with the current ones.
