I Can See It In Your Eyes

I-Can-See-It-In-Your-Eyes

So my week has been off to a bit of a bumpy start. On Sunday my eyes were bothering me a little, but I assumed it was just my contacts acting up, so I swapped them out for my glasses and thought nothing more of it. On Monday, I noticed that my vision was little blurry as I walked to work and by the time I got to work twenty minutes later, my eyes were pretty irritated. I thought it was my contacts again, so I went to the bathroom, rinsed them and put them back in. Finally, when it clearly wasn’t getting any better, I went to talk to my boss and she encouraged me to visit the doctor immediately.

I left work and made an appointment with the eye doctor. While I was waiting, the irritation was getting worse and it was really difficult to keep the affected eye open. When the doc took a look, she told me I had a large scratch dead center on my cornea, which meant no contacts for me for a while, as well as some prescription eye drops. It’s been a couple days now and I’m happy to say that my eye is doing a lot better with the meds and rest from my contacts!

While I am bummed about being without my contacts for a while, this little incident did give me the push I needed to finally buy a new pair of glasses (My current glasses are from oh, maybe 6+ years ago? Not to mention that that prescription is no longer current!). I took a trip down to the Warby Parker flagship yesterday morning and tried on a bunch of frames. I’ve already ordered a pair and they’re on their way to me right now! I’m so excited to have a pair of glasses that I actually like and feel comfortable wearing outside the house.

Tell me: Which one would you choose?
(I’ve already made my decision but I’m so curious to see which pair you guys prefer!)

    Oh my goodness! I’m glad you went when you did, that sounds like it was annoying and painful! Glad you’re doing better :) I’d probably choose the Perceys.

      Thanks Jenmarie! It was only painful for about a day, but annoying for a few days!

    Oh no! Sad to hear that you got new glasses under less-than-fun circumstances. Glad your eye is doing better!! I like both frames, but I have the Preston. I think both would be cute on you!

      Thanks Hope! I liked both too, but in the end I went with the Preston :)

    I am so sorry to hear about your eye. I hope it isn’t hurting and that it heals super quickly. I desperately need a new pair of glasses too. I always wear my contacts so my glasses are so old. I love both pairs you posted. I would likely get the Preston for myself.

      Thank you Tracy! It doesn’t hurt anymore and I’m hoping to get the all-clear from the day. I did choose the Prestons :)

    Bummer about having to give up your contacts for a bit, but it’s better you took care of the issue sooner than later.
    I love Preston!

    I think… Preston. Percy are cool, but with them I’d want to have another pair that’s a bit more neutral.

    Wait.. did you do the photobooth?

      Those were my thoughts exactly. I want these to be my new everyday pair of glasses, so I chose the Preston.

      No, I didn’t see the photobooth!
