New Glasses, Big Adjustment

Yesterday was a banner day. I went from no glasses at all to no line bifocals. I picked them up in the afternoon and wore them in a few stores and around home last night but still haven’t gotten my bearings.

Reading is fine and activity on my phone is ok but – gee whiz – walking around is a chore!!!

I’m told that it’s important to turn your head instead of just moving your eyes so I’m practicing that. Meanwhile, I’m a little sea sick. Actually, I feel like a drunk person at sea if I turn my head too quickly!!

And those of you who have bifocals will understand when I say that looking down when I walk is a super bad idea.

The doctor’s office told me to wear them as much as possible and to keep working at it until I find my sweet spot. Friends say that it will take a couple of weeks but it will simply click one day. A few have horror stories but I’m choosing to believe that I’ll be seeing better in no time.

I’m also hopeful that I won’t fall on my head trying to figure it out. Have advice? I’m open to your ideas!
