Nice glasses. I've been meaning to get new ones myself, but I never got around to it. Plus going to the optometrist is like going to the dentist for me: I hate it. :)

Anyways, they look great on you. ;)

Thanks everybody... i'm blushing. :blush

They sure have come a long way from when I was a kid. (I sound old.) I went to Walmart and had the exam for $60. They took me in a room used two machines that looked at my eye, it made a reccomendation for the Optometrist who used a little gadget on my eyes just to make sure the machine got it right and ... TADA! I had my perscription. Then I ordered my cheapo frames, the expensive lens so the stigmatizm in my right eye would behave and in four days I had my new glasses. Quick and painless. Ah, technology! I didn't even need my eyes dialated. How cool is that? :ohbaby

Great glasses. They look good on you.

I also wear glasses but I'm thinking about having that Lasik procedure done on my right eye (my left eye is fine). I still need to do all my research concerning that procedure though.

Wow, this is my 100th post. Yay! :cheering

I've known a few dudes that had Lasik - they all came out great! Most got back to near 20/20. Cool glasses dude.

Very nice

Yes, nice looking Glasses. I need to get myself a new set. I got my Wife a new set last year, but did not get any for me. So this year it is my turn :)

I have been told I have super hero vision. But I sit in front of a giant monitor for 8 hours a day...I'm sure I'll have to wear them in a few years. If I do, I'll be sure to pick some cool ones like yours. ;)

That's way cool. I went to ShopKo recently for an exam. It was the normal kind - "Which is better, 1? or 2?" over and over again. They ordered lenses for the frame I already had - which they sold - and a week later when they came in they'd ordered the wrong material, so they were twice as thick as they were supposed to be. So they sent them back. A week later when they came in, they didn't fit in the frames. They'd made them too big. So they sent them back. A week later the lenses came in, the right size, but the wrong prescription. I couldn't see. Gah! A week later (total of 4 now) they come in and they finally work. It only took them a MONTH to get them right. Guess where I won't be going next time I need glasses.

Murphy's Law #2
Everything takes longer than you think.

Murphy's Law #3
Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong.

Murphy's Law #4
If there is a possibility of several things going wrong, the one that will cause the most damage will be the one to occur. Corollary: If there is a worse time for something to go wrong, it will happen at that time.

Yeah, that about covers it. I guess I should be grateful they got my contacts right on the very first try.
