Glass

Just received my new pair of glasses; I'm still trying to adapt for it.

My previous pair was in use for nearly 9 years. You know what, during this time I developed quite a bit of presbyopia. While discussing what type of lens I preferred, my optometrist subtly suggested I needed something with a variable focus. (Yes, the type that you could focus on a distant object when you look straight ahead and on a close one when you look downward.)

I looked horrified and waved off the idea.

The friendly specialist then gave me a choice, "Do you want to preserve the ability to look far ahead, or the one to focus on objects near by ?"

That's an easy question for me, "Jove, I am only interested in the problem at hand."

Friends, next time when you find me at a distance, stare at your face and appear confused, don't feel offended.
