Am wondering whether to invest in a monocle now that my arms aren't long enough for the text size on my screen - this picture was pre-optician explaining that there is nothing you can do about eyesight, it just starts changing when we are born and keeps going. I now have two pairs of glasses (x1magnification) so that I can read trash fiction, one pair from the pound shop and one from a charity chop - but they were new. Just need to bite the bullet and pay for the prescription pair. I think I am avoiding all that 'choosing frames to suit face' malarkey, as well as knowing I wil probably lose them and have to berate myself in the way that I berated the 4/5ths of my kids that used to lose their glasses.
