Whee, eyes.

Got the eye exam. My eyes are healthy and my prescription has only changed a very little bit in four years. Yay. And the doctor actually had some useful suggestions for the dry eye problems. Also yay. And I found some cute new frames. Further yay. And my company has a good vision plan, and I have a flexible spending account that will cover the extra bits (antireflective/scratch-resistant/UV-protecting coating, for instance, and the exam copay). Yet more yay.

Not so yay: it'll be a week or so to get the new glasses, and they weren't going to be able to do anything about my broken ones without ordering a part, which will take just as long as getting the new glasses. I did manage to re-tape the broken bit in such a way that it seems to be staying put better, so perhaps they won't drive me quite as nuts as they have been the past two days. But I will very much be looking forward to my new ones!

FYI, I have just done business with www.zennioptical.com for the first time.
While I will not sing their praises for quality, $8.95- $19.95 for full sets plus $4.95 shipping no matter how many pairs you order makes for good back-up.
Took about 2 weeks to arrive, if that.
You just need your prescription information and CC info. :)
(and when I say quality, I refer to the frames themselves- a bit squeaky- I got plastic ones- the lenses/prescription are just fine)
