“Rose-colored glasses are never made in bifocals. Nobody wants to read the small print in dreams.”

These are progressive lenses, NOT BIFOCALS! You know, because bifocals are for old people. Old people that collect a lot of cats and keep tissues tucked up their sleeves. Progressive lenses are for mature that do things like run marathons, climb mountains and white water raft the rapids whilst using their Blackberry. Or something that I can't even imagine...I just know it doesn't involve cats, tissues tucked in your sleeves, living in your mother's house with your kid at 41 (for some reason I keep thinking I am 42, but this can't be right) and having your said kid text you if you are out past 11 at night

WHERE ARE YOU? DO NOT COME HOME AND FALL DOWN THE STEPS!

Well, duh. I have progressive lenses now...I can see those steps coming from a good 3 steps away now. No worries here.

5 you say:

Love them! Very modern. "Don't fall on the front steps!" LOL I am positive that my son will throw this one back at me ... in time ... as revenge on the many times I say it.

I keep kleenex in my bra. I know it sounds gross, but I can't stand long sleeves. I'm always rolling up my sleeves.

Hey, they gotta go somewhere!!

I'm glad you have a place to go.

You are so darn cute! You look great in those glasses. I wish I looked even half-way decent in my glasses. Power to the kittehs!

My brother has at last succumbed to presbyopia, and is trialling those glasses, I arrived at that stage well over 12 years ago and went for bifocals, I will stick with them, rose tinted and all.

In one way varifocals are a social construction a cosmeticisation of prosthetics like contact lenses, I like the functional and efficient as I follow Sullivan in architecture rather than the Beaux Arts :)
