ooooh...magnified eyes!

Why is it....since I turned 60...my eyesight has deteriorated so rapidly? a tear in the retina, thankfully repaired...still got the 'floaters' but they're not really a problem, my recent eye test showed early signs of Cataracts, patches of 'dry eye', gee, thanks....eyelids reluctant to open in the morning, what the hell is going on!!!!

I was fine at 59!

Time to choose my new frames as I have two new prescriptions.

I had an almost unworn pair which I would have liked re-glazed but it cost more to do that than buy a new identical pair....WHY?

I was about to load the photos I'd taken today onto my computer when I realised I hadn't taken one of me - my daily selfie. I always wear glasses to look at the computer as the screen is too far away for me to see it clearly with my right eye and a little too close to see it easily with my left eye.

So to take my photo with my iPhone I pushed my glasses up to see the screen on the 'phone.😀

The greatest magnifying glasses in the world are a man's own eyes when they look upon his own person.

OK , so I've been to opticians 3 days ago as I started to see black dots in my left eye , and I realize how bad is my sight when she ( optometrist ) was putting all those lenses on my eyes.

You can get a new lens but not new eyes.

Thought my stream needed some colours. This is almost straight out of the camera, just a minor crop and slight contrast adjustment.
