Sucks to your auntie!
I went to the eye doctor yesterday. I like my eye doctor because, like my dentist, he is patient and indulgent when I go "What's that? What's that for? How does it work? What's that? What's that for? How does it work? What's that? What's that for? How does it work? What's that? What's that for? How does it work?"
I'm glad now that I've procrastinated for several years about getting new glasses, because my right eye got marginally weaker on this visit, after having remained unchanged for years. So now I can get glasses with an up-to-date prescription. The question is: which frames?
![]() #1 | ![]() #2 | ![]() #3 | ![]() #4 |
(Although you wouldn't think it to look at it - I changed some sort of camera setting between #1 and #2 for some reason - these were all taken in my ophthalmologist's office, so I might have more selection if I went to a large glasses store.)

I hate picking out new glasses. Last time, I ended up asking them to re-order the frames I'd been wearing for the previous few years. I'm actually overdue for an eye exam. I hope my frames are still in production.
My vote is for #1.

I like #2 best although #3 is nice too.

Yep, #1.
But, I've never worn glasses in my life. Last time I went to the eye doctor he recommended I start wearing reading glasses. I swear it took me at least an hour to pick a simple pair of +1 at the drugstore!

I vote for #2, but #1 appears to be winning.
And judging by the pictures, I have a pretty good clue that you go to my eye doctor when I used to live in Oxford. Good choice!

#1 or #2.
I love my glasses unfortunately the next time I go to the opticians I might need some new ones lol.
My dentist is a family friend so thats funny especially when he sings along to the radio while checking your teeth!
I've been at the same opticians since I first started having my eyes tested.

I vote for #1. Definitely not for #3. That pair is a little reminiscent of the glasses we all wore as younguns.
I like the first pair. Very cute.
