HoundsGood: Chronicles of a Virtual Volunteer

The Lions Club is always doing a drive for used and new eyeglasses, to send to people that are not able to obtain then, mostly overseas.  If you have glasses that you don’t use, it is a nice way to recycle.  The subject of eyeglasses has got me thinking about my own eyesight.

I haven’t worn glasses in quite awhile, but now that I am traveling in a different part of town, I have been really noticing the astigmatism in one of my eyes.  I think it is because before, my brain would sort of “fill in” the names of streets if I couldn’t see them sharply.  I would sort of read the first or last part, or the length of the name, and having my bearings of where I was, my brain somehow checked out the map in my head and I was pretty spot on  At first, I thought I was just quickly glancing, but now I know that I really couldn’t see them very well.

Money is always tight around the holidays, but I have heard how economical the Holiday frames at Zenni Optical are.  I can even afford to get something red or green for the holidays and buy something more conservative the rest of the year. (Look at the glasses below…they are actually green and red or green and burgundy if you can’t make up your mind!)   Or, maybe I will buy myself a pair and buy a second pair to donate to the Lions Club.
