I won't beat around the bush -- I'm nearsighted. And I'm not talking about "let me just squint and I'll be fine" near-sighted. I mean really near-sighted. Nearsighted enough that I've with students that without my glasses that I not only could not tell them apart, but I would probably be unable to divide the girls from boys at a distance of more than ten feet. And if I got much beyond that, I would be unable to distinguish the ethnicity of the individuals in question -- they would just be a big blur. Yeah, that near-sighted.

This past year I needed to get bifocal. 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 get some that use special materials to make them thinner. But those cost more down at your local optical shop or mass-market eyeglass retailer, so it is important to find yourself a bargain if you can. And if you shop online, it is now possible to find a Wide Selection of Eyeglasses and those special lenses at bargain prices. That can mean spectacular savings on that new pair of glasses.
