Glasses saga

JJ401

Last December at his optometrist appointment I asked that the PD numbers be added to his prescription paper. I was thinking that if something happened to his glasses, I’d order online. 

Fast forward to November. DH is cleaning his glasses and on one side the lens fell out. I take the frame and the lens and go look for his old pair (as I never ordered online). They aren’t where I thought they were and then I notice that he’s wearing the broken ones. So I tell him that I’ll get ready and take him to get them fixed. When I’m ready he’s wearing the glasses, but has no idea where he moved the lens. So I go back to looking for the spare, find it, and take the broken ones away.

The lens has to be somewhere.  Can’t find it. Search for three days. Give up and order glasses online (spare is an old prescription) Three days later lens turns up so we get glasses fixed.

All is good until today. He had to have an MRI. As he was dressing after the MRI, he sits on the glasses and bends the frame. When we come home I get out the glasses I ordered online last month and he puts his bent glasses on his dresser. After supper I go to put the broken glasses away and — one lens is missing. Where? Who knows? 

Will it turn up? Probably sometime. If only I could Tile it like the keys that are always being misplaced.

JJ,

Lost glasses sagas are so frustrating and sometimes comical. My DH has a pair of glasses minus a lens that never was found. He/we spent hours trying to find lost glasses. I finally bought him five pair. Now he won’t wear them at all as he says they will make him go blind.

Exasperating!!!!!  Sometimes the little things are the straw that breaks the camel's back. Thanks for sharing though, made me chuckle. With empathy.
