This morning my telephone rang, and I was told my new glasses are ready to collect.
Now that was fast. In less than a week, not bad SpecSavers.
My previous rant on SpecSavers, Say what you mean advertising. – SpecSavers (click to view) did not mention delivery time, from having the eyes tested, measured and new glasses ordered as I am not in a rush to get them, I have my old second pair which are fine.
I now need glasses to read, well at 95 (joke) what can I expect. I need a little correction for distance, nothing drastic. I am happy to do without my glasses if I can most of the time, say when walking the streets, observing the country, and not reading.
But I am lazy, so I keep the the glasses on, as they are varifocal, that means the top half of the lens is for long distance and the bottom is for reading, and the lens gradually changes its’ focus from top to bottom, I can see well whilst wearing them in most situations.
I went and had the glasses fitted, and all fine in SpecSavers shop, but wearing them outside in the streets of Kingston upon Thames, I felt quite peculiar. Writing this blog is very strange. Watching TV, no I had better read a book instead.
My eyes are hurting and my head is spinning.
I am told that it takes some time to get used to new glasses, so I will persevere.
