I've delayed visting the Optometrist for my annual eye exam until the last day- Dec 31, 2009. I think it's out of fear from my childhood. When I was in the 6th grade I got my first pair of eyeglasses- thick frames with bifocals! Not the invisible bifocals that are common today, but the old school ones that clearly identified you as blind! I begged my mother to let me get wire frames. But she insisted that I was to young for that style frame and that I needed something more durable. WHAT?!? Durable? My activities consisted of girl scouts, piano and band-aka nerd sports. I couldn't believe that she would expect me to wear the hideous super thick, geek glasses she selected. DISCLAIMER: In 6th grade the words
chic, fabulous, style, freedom of choice and trend were clearly nonexistent in my life. Anyway, my mom bought me glasses similar to the ones that the rockers and rappers wear today. She had me 17 years ahead of the trend. Thanks mom!
If I do need to upgrade my current glasses, Dita Eyewear has great nerdy chic options.
