Poor vision tends to run in my family. My grandmother has Macular Degeneration, my mother and aunt both have poor eyesight, etc. I’m the only person in our family who doesn’t currently wear glasses. But, despite my best efforts, it seems that my eyes are starting to get worse. I’ve been noticing more and more that its harder to read small text, or things that are far away seem blurry to me. Even though I’ve always tried to be careful about my eyes (not watching TV in a dark room for the most part, etc) it seems like soon I’m going to be hearing that I’m following in everyone else’s footsteps.

Not that I think needing glasses would be a bad thing. I already wear sunglasses all the time, and I’ve worn theatrical contacts. And there are a million different styles of glasses to choose from. So I’m pretty sure that I would be able to find something that I like and that would look good on me. I even kind of think that it would be neat to have glasses because I could get really cute ones.

But, as cute as I think they might be, I’m still hoping that my eyes don’t get any worse and I won’t have to contemplate which frames I want any time in the near future.
