Since the first heat wave hit us this year, I’ve had trouble seeing.  Sounds weird doesn’t it?  There’s an easy explanation.  When I bought my glasses, I had them put the scratch coat on them.  Everyone knows how easy it is to scratch your glasses.  Right?  It was a big mistake.  I’d rather have scratches.

     You see I take after my father.  I sweat.  I sweat profusely.  When I sweat, my glasses steam up.  It seems that when they did that at least once the scratch coat warped and loosened.  Then sweat got under it and left a line of discoloration right across the bifocal lens and up the inside quarter of the entire lens.  It wasn’t a thin line either and got worse as time went on.  I switched to my other pair of glasses.

     We had another heat wave.  Those glasses also had the scratch coating on them.  The results were the same but not as bad as the other pair.  However, it is bad enough that I have to struggle to read.  EEKS!  I love to read.  I have to read to write.  I’m going crazy with not being able to read.

     My eye appointment is Saturday.
