That's what I'm concerned will happen, and I don't believe my supplementary insurance will cover multiple pairs of glasses in 1 year.

Some days I can go without, others my vision's so blurry everything's a haze at range. A constant though is my inability to see at distance words and details, I can only manage shapes usually.

I've become quite adept at remembering who's who around work based on their shape (body frame, height) and the colors they're wearing once I've seen them close up for the day. It's discouraging, but I'm mustering through. I'll see the eye doc in December to see what she has to say about it.
