I had convinced myself that, due to advancing age, my vision had changed for the better. Seriously! I didn't have to hold my reading material against my nose to see it anymore and, even from across the room, I could almost make out faces on the TV. Better, right?!

Well, not so much. The best you could say is -- differently bad. In fact, when I asked the eye doctor about the contacts I've been dying to order he explained, "There wouldn't even be a 30-day lens, in the world, for that left eye." Darned astigmatism!

But, looking on the bright side, I did get a pair of lined bifocals (which everyone is worried I'm going to hate), 6 boxes of contact lenses - per eye, and three years worth of eye exams (including 10% off all purchases) for less than the glasses that are currently falling off my face. I think I love America's Best!
