OT - Me Without Glasses

Carol said:

Some of you may remember that I had a terrible time getting a picture where
I'm not wearing glasses, PLUS don't look satanic. Now I've got a decent
one. I should be getting contacts by the end of the year if all goes
right.

High praise indeed, Mark, coming from my biggest fan. ;-)

Wow! Thank you! I took my glasses off when I had my driver's license
picture taken today. Turned out great!

Thank you, Spring. I can't wait to lose these glasses. It's gonna cost
about $500 for the fitting and the contacts, so I'm saving up. The
contacts will have correction for astigmatism, a very strong correction (at
the end of the contact lense scale for myopia), and bifocals. Serious
business. But they're hard lenses, so they won't have to constantly be
replaced.

Thanks, Amy. I'm working on looking like a human again. I'd forgotten how
much work that takes! LOL!

Wow, Carol, what a difference! You looks so pretty!

I was one who suggested that you change the style on your glasses to go
with your weight loss; your old big-rimmed Sally-Jesse glasses hid too much
of your face and looked too '80's. I hope that you're able to get your
contacts if that's what you want; I remember you saying that you were having
trouble gettng them because of the strength of your prescription.

Apparently, they now make contacts that work for severe myopia,
astigmatism, and bifocal corrections. They'll be very expensive, but it'll
be worth it.

Thanks again,

Carol,

You look SO different out from behind your glasses. I agree with the
others; you are much too pretty to be hiding behind them!

Good luck on your quest for contacts!

I've never really thought of myself as pretty, but if you say so, it must
be true. *smile*

Thanks! Eye exam tomorrow, contact fitting on Monday, then who knows when
for the contacts themselves.

Thank you very much. 🙂 I'm going to be fitted for contacts this
afternoon. Then it's just a matter of saving up to buy the lenses.

Should be Carol. My spell checker changed it to Crop. Weird.

Decent? It's adorable. You have such pretty eyes, and now we can all
enjoy looking at them 😉

Seriously, although I love my glasses and love glasses on many other
people, you REALLY look better without yours. Your features are
beautifully proportioned, and that beauty comes across more
effectively without glasses.

I hope the contacts work for you--if you do decide to get glasses as
well, let me recommend a rimless or semi-rimless style so they won't
overpower your lovely, delicate features.

🙂

Carol you look good! And congrats on the hard lenses, according to my doctor
they're better than soft ones.

Wow. *smile* Thanks so much. This is just the kind of thing I needed to
hear tonight. I've never thought of myself as even remotely beautiful,
just kinda average. It's nice when someone thinks you're special, and I
thank you for sharing that gift with me.

Carol
