I had my emergency optometrist appointment yesterday. They had the lens expert ready, and he took the glasses away to check that they had the right lens in. When he came back he had a little ruler to measure the distance between my eye and the lens. 'Seven millimetres,' he said, and sucked his breath. He took the glasses away again and changed the nose pads so the glasses now sit closer to where the old ones sat. While I was wearing my new glasses, the optometrist held some other lenses over my right eye, and one of them was perfect. I don't think I've ever seen as clearly as that. I said as much, and she noted it down, but she didn't say, 'Well, that's the very thing!' Maybe I need glasses for my glasses?
Anyway, I've got drops to put in, and I have to wear my new, adjusted glasses for a week, then go back on Monday to see how things are going. After twenty-four hours I can still feel my right eye working harder than the left one (and I still can't see as well out of it, which is the reason I wanted new glasses in the first place), but it doesn't hurt like it did. Although now I've thought about it, they do feel a bit achey. But then, if I concentrated on my toe, I'd be hyper-aware of how it might be feeling, even though there's nothing wrong with it in the first place. So I'll give it time. I'll go driving one night as a test, though I'm a bit nervous about that.
I saw these in a shoe shop catalogue today. Would you wear socks or tights with them? Or just bare feet?
