My husband has worn thick glasses ever since he was a young boy. As a result of the surgery, he ended up with extremely good “distant” vision. On the way home from the eye doctor, after removal of the first patch, I could have sworn he was “winking” at me. He kept opening and closing his eye because he couldn’t believe the difference. He repeatedly placed his hand “on and off” his eye in his state of disbelief at what he could now see.  Good thing I was driving, which is unusual in itself, if we are both in the car.  After his second eye surgery, he got his eyes tested and the prescription he received was for glasses that would accommodate his now “not so good” near vision. But….there was no way that this man was going to wear glasses, not after wearing them almost all his life. The “old dog” felt certain he didn’t need to wear glasses anymore.  He then decided he could make do with glasses from the dollar store in order to read. Well, let me tell you, if we don’t have ten pairs of glasses lying all around the house, we don’t have one. They are on or in every nook and cranny you can imagine. Do you see the dog in the above picture? Every time I talk to my husband when he’s reading the newspaper, this is the look I get as he peers over the top of his glasses at me. I now have a husband who resembles a “dog”.  This must be a test. Com’on girls…is there anyone else out there dealing with the above ”look”? If I can have my glasses on straight, why can’t he? Don’t you just love it? Now, I can’t help but wonder what my husband would say about me!
