Anyway, I've had five blissful years of amazing vision and all that pain was a distant memory...until now.
A few weeks ago I noticed my vision was a bit blurry and I was squinting a lot, so I went to the opticians and my vision has started to go again. Bleddy hell. Before the lazering my prescription used to be -5 and now it's only -0.5, so nothing major but annoying none the less. This means I now have to wear glasses for driving and other similar pursuits.
The reason I got my eyes lazered in the first place was because glasses REALLY didn't suit me. I remember being 13 and having glasses and a brace and just feeling horrified at the amount of metal on my face, so from then onwards I always wore contact lenses. But -0.5 isn't really enough for contact lenses, so me and my nemesis, the glasses, were to meet again.
I read lots of internet articles about how you're meant to choose glasses to suit your face shape and the advice for me, as on oval shaped person, was as follows: you can wear most shapes.
Very useful indeed.
Therefore I decided to just blitz the stands at Specsavers and not stop until I found the right pair. As I'll only need to wear them once in a blue moon, I decided to go cheap and start with the sale stand. After trying on a few designer pairs by Karen Millen and Gok Wan (who knew?) my eyes were drawn to a really cheap "no name" £25 pair in the men's section. I put them on and I swear there was a 'ping' noise because they just seemed to look perfect.
These glasses are so cute they're making me want to wear them all the time. I think they've got a bit of the Zooey Deschanel about them, which I like.
Now, photographing glasses is actually quite complicated (do you remember that awful peering forward thing that school photographers used to make the speccy kids do?) so here's the best my long-suffering boyfriend could do in the short time allotted. Nice glasses, shame about the wonky smile...
