Another lesson learned

Don’t go looking for your glasses in the dark.

Crunch.

Really looking forward to seeing the world though an aquarium tank for the next week or two ’til the new pair is in.

    no old spares lying around?

    Yes, but my eyes are failing so fast – I’m not kidding – I have to get new glasses once a year to keep up with the decline. Even last year’s pair is no good anymore.

    Ian, What did you, sit or step? I just got new glasses, astigmatisms suck. Every year is the same thing for me, guess we are getting old. :-)

    Ouch! Why does it take so long to get new ones?

  5. March 3, 2008 at 10:07 am

    Bugger.

    I’m sorry that you have to experience a week of fuzziness until your new specs arrive. Can’t they put a rush on your new ones?

    That’s what you get for buying a Kassenbrille! ;-)

    indie – I won’t tell you how much they cost, but they weren’t cheap! My wife really liked them, too -said they were the best pair I ever had.

    helio and azahar: there is no such thing as a rush job in Germany when it comes to glasses – or anything, for that matter.

    that girl: I crashed on the sofa, woke up around midnight, couldn’t find my glasses, took one step and that’s all it took. What a day…

    Hey they look like mine.. although officially I don’t wear glasses.

    You can get new specs here in half an hour, unless they have to send out for a special lens.

    Here too you can get new glasses not in half an hour but one hour for sure. I guess Europe is different that way, I think it’s the same in Greece, at least a week anyway…lesson learned I guess…ciao

    What a nightmare! These things happen so easily.

    I’m also in Europe, rositta. I live in Spain. And okay, maybe not half an hour unless it’s an emergency (they could actually do it in about ten minutes if they had to), but surely an hour tops.

    Unless it’s a special lens order that they have to wait to receive, they usually have all the usual ones in the store and it’s only a question of cutting it to fit the frame.
