A great new invention??

 Today I was fitted for a new pair of glasses.  Even though my eyes are seeing so much better since my cataract surgery there is still some room for improvement, especially when it comes to help with close work.  With my daughter's help (she is always my fashion consultant when it comes to glasses) I looked at several pairs of glasses.  Because of Covid concerns they have a nifty system.  I was given a box in which to deposit the contaminated (ie. tried on) glasses so they could be sanitized before the next customer.  After trying on several pairs, one of which was cat eye shaped (shades of high school) I found a pair that I really like.  They're not that different than the glasses I was wearing before surgery but I liked those too.  After I made my selection I learned that these particular glasses come with magnetized sun glasses that fit perfectly on the glasses.  What a great idea.  So much better than drugstore clip-ons.  I was so excited about this marvelous new invention.  After I got home, a friend texted me to ask how my appointment went and I excitedly texted her back to tell her about the marvelous magnetized sun glasses.  Her response "Oh yes, I had a pair like that some years ago.  They were nice."  Well, I guess there really is nothing new under the sun, but I'm still excited.  I started wearing glasses when I was seven years old and it's still such fun to get a new pair.
