New Glasses

[ailbhe]

Opticians' special offers change bloody hourly. Anyway, today I tried a new optician and got much cheaper glasses than my previous n pairs. These ones are gain a flexible frame with light-sensitive lenses and anti-glare and scratch-resistant coating. So what's different? Ladies' frames are all too big for my face and these are CHILD frames. HELLO I AM GOING MAD HERE.

I am not a child. I seem to be a fairly normal sized person, when I look around me. But I wear child sized clothes and eyeglasses, can't cycle most adult ladies' size bikes, need child kit for hiking, camping, etc - it's getting irritating.

I know plenty of people smaller than I am, too, in every direction.

Kids glasses fit me a zillion times better, and in general I'm what people would call round :)

With glasses, it's possible to get the stems shortened. I didn't know this until quite recently. Still... kids sizes are better for lenses too, most adult ones give me that ever-to-be-avoided "owl" look.
