Was watching a video of a baby seeing through glasses for the first time

He fights them when they go to put the glasses on, then his eyes light up and he smiles when he sees his parents clearly for the first time.

I remember discovering that trees were different shades of green when I saw leaves clearly for the first time. I was eight. My parents were reluctant to get me glasses because they had some weird notion that I wanted them just to have them. The school system finally convinced them my sight was 20/200 and I couldn't read the chalk board at all. That began a 42-year love-hate relationship with eyeglasses. I am so glad I have lenses that show me the world (and enable me to read and drive)!

You know your eyes are getting old and tired

when you go to mend something and try your best to thread a needle, only to realise that you're holding a pin. :)

This is cool

Thanks to YKWIA for showing me this.

Six eyes?

The part of my job that isn't being a librarian involves various forms of data entry and dealing with papers that have tiny numbers on them. I have bifocal glasses and contacts, but I find my contacts especially blur a bit as the day progresses, and my glasses are one or two prescriptions behind. I'm not sure how good or bad it is for my eyes, but I found a 2-for-1 deal at Rite Aid on Foster Grant readers and decided to get them, so hopefully they'll tide me over until I can get new glasses in January. So there's eyes, plus contacts, plus reading glasses. Here's hoping it helps.
