Well friends, I am here to tell you that if you have broken your glasses, and have only one remaining pair of your disposable contact lenses, and you are putting off making that appointment with your eye doctor, DON'T. The karma goddess will pay you a visit, at 8am in your bathroom, by making sure one of those lenses falls into the sink and down the drain. Oops. Then you will have to crawl around fruitlessly on the floor for 20 minutes, in a towel. Next, you will stalk off with vision in only your right eye to find and then repair your old glasses from circa 1994, and put them on while you call the eye doctor, who will not be able to see (ha!) you until Tuesday. Then you will call into the office, get dressed, and go to Target Optical, where you will discover that eyewear fashion changes with lightning speed and the frames you bought only 18 months ago are now so hopelessly out of style that they have no replacements for you. Same deal at Lenscrafters. You will then have to call your eye doctor and plead for mercy, for deliverance from the fate of wearing nine-year-old Coke bottles on your face all weekend. This will be granted, but somewhat grudgingly, and for the bargain price of $183 (that's with the HMO co-pay, mind you) you will get an eye exam, contact fitting, eight new pairs of fancy astigmatic lenses, and the dreaded dilation drops placed in your eyes, which make you look like a drug addict and drive like a vampire at noon. It won't stop you from turning the brightness on your computer monitor way down so you can update your blog, though. fyi. :P
