Eye Test

Went for the annual eye exam this morning in the early snow.

Now lately, I’ve been trying to learn Japanese via the duolingo app. I’m on my longest streak of 8 days.

Anyhow, while sitting in the chair and looking at the eye chart, when the letters went fuzzy they looked like hiragana. So much so that I was really tempted to pronounce them when the doctor asked what I saw.

Maybe. Just maybe. I’m starting to learn Japanese.

Forget Warby-Parker. Get your alternative prescription glasses from today’s link.

I needed a pair of safety glasses for work, because pretty soon I may be heading to the ship yard. So I bought a pair as you can see in the bonus picture. It’s a wrap around pair which hugs my face a little bit too much. But the glasses they sell are cheap enough that maybe I might try another pair.

I’l also looking for a pair for cycling, and they’ve got several types that may work if I get the transition lenses or just the dark lenses. This site is much better than trying to get prescription Oakleys which go for 3 to 4 times the amount from RX-safety.com.

I know at least I am going to get a pair in yellow. Let’s hope my vision doesn’t go bad anytime soon.
