I'll admit it -- I'm nearsighted. Not just a little near-sighted. Really near-sighted. I've often joked with students that if I ever lost my glasses I'd not only be unable to tell one from the other, but probably be unable to differentiate girls from boys at a distance of more than ten feet. Increase the distance and it would probably be unable to distinguish so much as the ethnicity of the person in question. Yeah, that near-sighted.

And now I have bifocals, because my eyes need different strength lenses for different tasks. And since I choose eyeglasses over contact lenses (and have since my brief flirtation with them during high school and college), I need a pretty thick lens unless I seek out something special like a polycarbonate or high-index lens. But such things cost more down at your local optical shop or mass-market eyeglass retailer, so it is important to look for bargains. That includes shopping online, because it is now possible to find High-indexed Prescription Eyeglasses On Sale. That can mean spectacular savings on that new pair of glasses. And since there are a great many stylish frames available online, it is possible to be in the latest eyewear fashions at a reasonable price.
