I finally went to the optometrist today. He started by yelling at me about the state of my lenses but then I explained why I'd been putting it off and he calmed down. The good news is that my eyes have actually improved--my astigmatism isn't as bad as it was. The bad news is that the whole thing cost me $300, and I think I got overcharged because I just looked and a 6 month supply from 1-800-Contacts is a little over $100. I had no way of knowing how big a difference it was at the time--I should have checked before I left. Oh well.

One earpiece is still half bent but they're wearable, so I'll wait to replace them.

Oh, and the opticians didn't charge me! Which was sweet.

The day before we left I went into Specsavers to get copies of my prescriptions. she handed me an envelope and I didn't check it. I should have, because they only put my contact lens prescription in. Now if they can't fix my old glasses I'll need a new exam too.

oops forgot to post! Anyway, went to opticians, they were dubious about fixing my glasses but agreed to try. I pointed out I had nothing to lose by trying.
