So my eyes have been really annoying lately.

They’ve been dry and burny and extraordinarily sensitive to light and computer monitors (which isn’t very helpful in my overly-geeky lifestyle).

I’ve been seeing an Eye Doctor and she’s been trying things to get them back to normal, which has included some uber-expensive steroid drops that I have the privilege of self-administering four times a day.

Yes, I admit it. I, too, use steroids. Too bad that I’m not breaking any blogging records or winning any accounting championships due to it.

As a part of this whole process, my doc tested my eyesight, and thinks that my slightly-off vision might have something to do with my eye strain.

At first, I was skeptical. I’m used to hearing people’s vision being crazy digits like 20/300 (or maybe I’m just married and related to really blind people), so 20/30 didn’t seem like that big of a deal to me.

However, they keep getting more painful despite my ‘roids, so I finally decided that it was time to get myself some glasses. At least to use when I am at the computer.

So I went shopping.

Ashley and AJ met Ali and I at the mall, so I got their help in the final decision making process.

Except that with every decision, Ashley very decisively picked the opposite one from me.

And when I’d give Ali and AJ a “Do you like A, B, C, or D the best?” option, they would both yell, “I like Z the best!!!”

But finally, after wading through the confusion and differing opinions, we all settled on this pair:IMG_7065
I was finally happy with my choice, but then I let Ali and AJ try them on, and I remembered the rule that NOTHING will EVER look as cute on me as they will look on them, including glasses,

  1. Good choice.I wear reading glasses but,when I'm using the computer I wear sunglasses sometimes.They help a lot.

  2. Love them! I have an eye appt. Monday and can't wait to pick out some new glasses. Of course, I've been wearing glasses since 6th grade so it's not a new adventure.

  3. Cute glasses, and you will be suprised at how much better your eyes and the headaches you will have now that you have glasses. I started out with just reading glasses but my vision got just bad enough to need them all the time. Although like you I didn't realize it until I had glasses. I hope you can stick with just reading glasses.

  4. Oooooh! Those glasses are awesome. I had some sunglasses like that once and really, really liked them. Good choice!

  5. I am BLIND, so I am always jealous when people can just go to the store and get some. They are super cute though!

  6. Love the Ali pic…she is too adorable! I like your new glasses! I just got new ones too that are pretty similar. I lost a contact when we were at T's parents and had to wear the new glasses for about four days straight, but they were surprisingly comfortable. Hope yours work out well too!
