So, I'm getting glasses. I have been told, don't know if it's true or not, but that you can tell a man's age by the prescription of the glasses he has. My eye doctor said that if a man is over forty and doesn't wear glasses at least to read he is fooling himself. I've been wearing reading glasses for years but have always prided myself on my ability to see things far away. I believe that I'm farsighted? No, maybe I'm just dumb. The reason this whole thing started was, yes, the pterygium (tri-g-um) had a lot to do with it but also my daughter, Cindy, came home the other day with a new pair of glasses with a new prescription. We were all admiring them and trying them on. When I put them on it was like a whole new world out there. There were leaves on those trees and there wasn't a haze at all on those mountains. My doc said that really I wouldn't pass the State of Utah eye exam for driving with my current set of eyes. I guess you sometimes don't realize what you don't have until you see what others do have.
