Jeepers, creepers, where'd ya get those ....?

I've been told my peepers are, well, rather nice. That may be so. But, after a trip to the eye doctor prompted by headaches and rather debilitating eye pain, it's been discovered that not only has my prescription changed (for the better - one of the ironic things about aging is your eyes often DO get closer to 20/20) - but my eyes also require bi-focals AND I have the beginnings of cateracts.
Oh joy.
What this means: new eyewear. Every day glasses, sunglasses, contacts too. More expensive with the bi-focals (progressives, thank you very much, no granny line on the lens for me). No insurance. Almost poverty level writer's salary. Yippee. Hello Visa.
Alas, I can't and refuse to cheap out on my eyeballs. One of the few things were the "cheap is chic" adage most emphatically does not apply! (Ok, so I'm saving on the frames by putting new lenses in my existing frames - there's a wee bit of Grunge Queen verve for you).
