redbird: closeup of me drinking tea, in a friend's kitchen (Default)

My glasses had been feeling a bit too tight (pressure from the earpieces against the side of my head). A couple of weeks ago I went and got them adjusted. That was odd in itself: the place I'd had them made was no longer in its nice corner store, which had a for-rent sign, but (according to a sign also in the window) in a trailer around the corner. I went in, and someone who seemed to know what he was doing adjusted the earpieces.

What I noticed right away was that they're no longer too tight, which is good.

What I've gradually been noticing is that they're slightly off horizontal, which is bad. And may be giving me a low-level headache.

The spares I got online also feel odd, though that may just be that even with the same prescription, they're a different physical object, different shaped frames, and such. Either that or someone messed up and I didn't notice at the time. Either way, when I put them on at what seems like the natural place, I am not seeing clearly. So I have put the off-kilter pair back on. I need to get them adjusted, probably on Monday (tomorrow I intend to take it very easy, and it's a mile or more to the nearest eyeglass place, and even with buses that is going out and doing stuff and not entirely restful). On the other hand, waiting and being off-kilter is also not entirely restful, and Monday I have a full day of work and a desire to go lift weights in the evening.
