I have close up super-vision but my monitors at work are that annoying distance away from me, and I have to use privacy screens to keep my colleagues from seeing my top-secret finance work. So I enlarged my font and squint.
I had the same giant glasses as you did, Cheryl and Fawnia! And I still have my annuals, don’t make me drag them out!
I love Pam, just saw The Last Showgirl, and would love to look that cool. I know someone who uses a loupe/round lens on a chain to read menus. It’s very amusing.
Wonderful catching up with you both, as always.💕 Thank you!
The laser procedure is truly lifechanging!! But you’ll still need reading glasses at some point so you’ll still have the chance for slutty little readers! (I’ll need them soon)
The piece that had to be written!! 🤩👏👏 - “if you’re … wearing your readers and therefore can see the little heart at the bottom of this post, please feel free to click it.” 😂 Great advice about strength checking and then shopping from your stylish sources 🕵️♀️- and don’t get me started on varifocals as we call them here. I feel nauseous and slightly spinny just thinking about it. But your PHOTOS!! 💗💗 (And already so cool with the tie and the polka dots, Fawnia!! 😍) Also, I can 100% smell those stickers now!!
😍 (🏃♀️🏃♀️ to catch up here!)!! So varifocals are the ones which apparently cover short, mid and long distance, all in one, apparently seamless lens, but apparently just make me feel seasick. So I do the two pairs at once, and maybe shades on top of my head, too, which avoids the nausea but is definitely a look. 👀😂
I need a new pair, so this was incredibly helpful! Also, my sixth-grade self (who had similar glasses as Fawnia's) would be amazed that the style would be considered trendy today.
I love Cadis! All I wear. I have the blue aviators, the thick serial killer ones and a few pairs of the Miklos ones in different colors, which I swear look good on everyone. Check them out!
I’ve had readers stashed in every bag and room in my house for awhile, but I recently discovered multi-focal readers (normal on top, magnified on the bottom) so I can read a menu and look up to continue my conversation without taking them off to avoid a headache. Huge game changer!
I have like a million pairs of Zenni prescription sunglasses because I have bad DISTANCE vision and often get in the car to realize I can’t read the signs. So I stash a pair in everything. (Meanwhile I didn’t really need readers? My eye doc was like 🤷🏻♀️) - J
Count me in as a huge-glasses wearer back in the day. I remember a blueberry pair, and TINTED BLUE LENSES to match, whyyyyy did my parents let me do that? (Because it was the late 70s-early 80s and I was stuck wearing glasses, that's why).
Thanks for the link to Carrie's medicine cabinet. I swore off AJLT after the first season, but love a deep dive on fashion/beauty. I do wonder why their are no hair care products, you know she's use Oribe and Olaplex.
Thanks for the shout out! 😀 And I had those glasses in the ‘80s too! But I got mine in the 8th grade, and I have zero pictures of me wearing them before I graduated to contacts two years later.
Of course! And I feel you there with the contacts. I remember the summer before 8th grade, my mom was like, I think it’s time for contacts. lol Always looking out for me. 🤓
Eyebobs! Will check. Oh good point on frame size. Warby offers different sizes but not all do (I love that you are wearing your readers in your photo!!)

Ooh I should get a loupe! That sounds chic
I think one company made those glasses and everyone had them ha. Ohhh loupe sounds more chic and less ridiculous than “monocle”!!
I know right? I require a loupe, fetch me my loupe!
I imagine it in Christine Baranski’s voice in “The Gilded Age”
I love her!💕
Slutty little glasses is just what I needed right now! I'm planning to get lazik surgery one day soon but I'll miss the aesthetic of glasses

Haha phew! Thank god for old age 🤓

I think so much about my reading glasses because they are so ubiquitous in my life at this point!
SAME!!!! 🙌
What are varifocals?! I actually do think the monocle is a good idea and very portable! Lol I think my mom still dressed me then 😂🤓

The bigger the better!
I’m still traumatized and got lasik because I cannot wear glasses again! I’m going to get that monocle when the time comes 🧐
🤣
Ok this emoji is making me laugh
Sexy monocle!

While writing this I succumbed and bought some giant grandpa progressives from Caddis. Can’t wait for the mocking from my children!
I've already endured the mocking from my teens, you can make it through!

Yes I’m getting some of these! So tired of walking around with them on top of my head
A link and in my best Chandler, “could my glasses BE any bigger?” I am in the center of this photo: https://www.facebook.com/share/1FQcFBsskQ/?mibextid=wwXIfr
Adorable! It’s so funny how every pair of glasses was the same, for all ages
I realized just now that I have sunglasses with the same frames so joke’s on me!
I will neverrrrrrr go back to big glasses. Give me 90’s ovals and rectangles!!!

Oh I wonder what the Greeks call that?? 🤪 (I love Zenni so much except for the hard plastic cases that bang around in every bag I put them in)
ooo love this! waitin on my new glasses as we speak!!!

I JUST ordered a pair of glasses with blue tint! LOL I think its cool :)
I feel like seeing everything blue would be v relaxing
Ok but I bet the blue was amazing back in the day!!! I remember my eye doctor told me to match my frames to my hair color (?!)
Thanks for the shout out! 😀 And I had those glasses in the ‘80s too! But I got mine in the 8th grade, and I have zero pictures of me wearing them before I graduated to contacts two years later.
They were cuter on me in 5th grade than 8th 😬. I can’t believe I’m actually going to get a pair now
Of course! And I feel you there with the contacts. I remember the summer before 8th grade, my mom was like, I think it’s time for contacts. lol Always looking out for me. 🤓
"Upgraded" to transition lenses a couple years ago. Being in your mid-40's is so awesome!
Bruh (as my sons would say), wait til mid-50s
Ugh. I didn’t appreciate my 30’s. And I’m sure in 10 years I’ll be saying I didn’t appreciate my 40’s. Even though I’m trying to!
I swear by Eyebobs — they’re the only brand that makes readers narrow enough for me — and prices aren’t bad!
Eyebobs! Will check. Oh good point on frame size. Warby offers different sizes but not all do (I love that you are wearing your readers in your photo!!)
