New Glasses, New Contacts

I got new glasses and contacts yesterday, Actually, my daughter picked them up for me and brought them home.

The glasses are very different from my previous ones and one of the major differences is that the earpiece hinges are large and decorative. I startled myself repeatedly last night thinking someone had walked up beside me. Had the same problem this morning. I'm sure I will soon be used to them, but at the moment, it's a bit claustrophobic for me.

After cleaning and soaking them overnight, I tried my new contacts this morning. One of them was giving me some trouble initially, so I took it out and rinsed it off again, then noticed it is not completely round in shape. Though the other felt fine, I kept wondering if it was a defect, so nothing would do but that I take out the other one to check it, too. It isn't round either. No big deal, but I would have loved the heads up from my eye doctor. Guess it says something that I can see well enough out of them to see that they aren't round. And so far, I can read everything I've tried to read. Next test - can I see to drive? Everyone in the county will be relieved if I can, I know.
