I wear my contacts 24/7 and every few months I wear my glasses for a few days to give my eyes a break.
Like anything shiny and expensive, Tilly loves my glasses. And since any vision benefit I have typically goes towards the cost of contacts, these glasses have been banging around since college. [Huh, they can't possibly be nearly 10 years old. Wow.]
I'm accustomed to them being slightly crooked, thanks to an overzealous toddler I was babysitting one summer and generally smudged but aside from my eyes feeling a little dryer without the moist towelette like contact properties, I wear them and then back they go, under the sink, till I feel bad for my eyes a few months later and pull them back out.
I was dozing on the couch last night and I must have turned my head and wiggled my glasses mostly off because little miss saw her opportunity. I didn't feel her pull them off, I just heard the sound of teeth scratching glass.
After a stumbling game of chase, I distracted her with a pigs ear and reclaimed my glasses. Thanks to her exuberance, they sit slightly even more crooked across my nose causing my head to start to tilt to compensate. And as one lens is mostly unscathed I seem to have rather quickly adopted a slightly pirate way of seeing.
Looks like it might be time to check out those online sites where you can get glasses for $10.
Oh, Tilly.
