He thinks he's all that and a box of chips too...

He is.

I picked up my new glasses while babysitting last week. They have thinned the lenses so I don't need such heavy frames & that means the blind spot on the edge of the frame is not so bad. They've got twiggly hinges too so hopefully my propensity for breaking my goggle eyes while dealing with chickens will be lessened. I'm finding them so much better to work with just because I have much bigger lenses. This growing older lark is no fun @ all!

It's great when things like this happen. One struggles along with sub standard or unsatisfactory stuff because one doesn't know any better and suddenly one finds out.
I've had similar with my teeth.

Teeth are the pits. I had a lot of work done on my teeth as a kid so I know a good plate when I get one. I got a shocker I won't wear, which is what tends to happen when you're on the public health system. To date I've had to go with the 2 pairs for the price of one deal so I had driving glasses but my long distance sight hasn't changed so I was able to afford better reading glasses. They get a lot of use so worth it.

I've just got a new bottom set. I'm still getting used to them. I was saying to my eldest that it's ironic that for the first time for years that I have a full set of bottom teeth, nobody can see them because I've always got a mask on when I go out.
Maybe the chickens appreciate them.

Nice frame! I also prefer a lighter frame and larger lenses.
For a time those skinny lenses were in style, and I guess they looked fashionable but they weren’t that great for field of vision.

Small lenses are the pits! I need to be able to see, not look like a fashionista!

I'm sure your girls appreciate them. They may even encourage some gratuitous grooming.

I have to have small frames because the lenses are so thick they can't make them any bigger (think blind as bat). The issue is that I really only see in front of me because above and below and to the sides is all a blur outside of the small frame area.
It sounds way worse than it is because of course I have lived with it for as long as I can remember so it feels normal.
Fashionista it most certainly is not!

That's rough. I get a couple of blind spots from the frames. The new ones are better that way ~ but yes, I have thick lenses too. One of my cats likes to push my glasses around my face which isn't good for the hinges so I'm hoping the new ones do better.

I know that feeling! Frames look good though!

Thanks, Alex!
