    Earl took his glasses off and I still can’t see his eyes.

    I’ve no recollection asking my maternal grandfather to try on his glasses. I also never bothered to ask my paternal grandfather nor my stepmother’s father because 1) they never wore glasses and 2) the former died before my birth whereas the latter died a few years after my father’s remarriage (not to mention I was already wearing my own glasses at the time).

    Mom and dad had the same kind of frames. One night she grabbed his in order to go to the bathroom. While in there, she looked at the mirror and had trouble seeing. We heard her cry out "I’m going blind!’

    I don’t blame my glasses for the scary world; I blame my TV.

    Seeing the world with clarity can be scary.

    It’s all in how we see things….clear, blurred, smudged!

    Caleb was about Nelson’s age and wanted to try on my glasses. He fell over.

    Youngest grandson, about Nelson’s age, tried my glasses on. His reaction … “Abuelo, you’re blind!”

    I tried a pair that were +6 diopters nearsightedness correction and also correcting for astigmatism. It felt like my eyeballs were being pulled forward—ouch!.

    You can tell how strong your lenses are by noticing how much things out of “the corner of your eye” move when you put them on or off. Mine were strong enough to keep me out of the army (and have gotten stronger). Stuff about 10 feet away moves an apparent 18 inches or so.

    One of the things that mom found attractive about dad was his glasses – that and she thought he looked like Clark Gable (oddly I grew up thinking my dad was Groucho Marx as I thought he liked like same). As a result my sisters and I all wear eyeglasses or contact lenses.

    My husband did not have eyeglass wearers in his family and I used to try to explain what I see when I don’t wear glasses. Finally I came up – “put on my eyeglasses”. He did. “See how everything looks to you? That’s what it looks like to be without them.”

    After needing cataract surgery and general aging he now needs eyeglasses – sometimes. He still cannot adjust to same and still wonders how I wear them without problems.
