When you get right down to it, you can tell that they were made right if you can see clearly through them. You need to go to an optician that you trust. I'll try to get a recommendation for you.

What, no sunglasses?

Oops! Two pair of progressives - one for the car, one for the purse.

I am an eyeglass maven!

I give you credit, Glinda. I have enough trouble keeping track of one pair of regular glasses and one of sunglasses.

How do you keep from losing them?

That's the ticket. Back in the day when I had health insurance, I loaded up. Now that I'm broke, I can at least see inside my empty coinpurse. I just replace lenses every few years, as my prescription changes.
