Gnats. Flies. If you’re like most people, just the mention of those little buggers is annoying. Because that’s what they are. Annoying. And the reason I brought ’em up is because of my eyeglasses.
Not because gnats and flies are hovering around my glasses.
But because I scuffed one of the lenses, recently. And now, there’s an annoying blur in front of everything I read or write. When I tilt my head a little more forward, I can alleviate the aggravation a little. But then I have to deal with a little bit of neck strain. So, gnaturally, I checked the “trusty” internet for scuff solutions.
There’s no shortage of suggestions. And, as it is with so much “advice” these days, you gotta take it with a grain (or shaker) of salt. Because most “hacks” suggest solutions that actually add to the problem. Maybe not short term. But definitely long term.
Keep in mind, I’m a cheapskate when it comes to this kind of thing. I don’t buy into the whole renew-your-eyeglass-prescription-every-year thing. And I prefer a DIY, holistic approach to health in general.
So, I go a little further into research than just a YouTube video. And this isn’t a recommendation to you or anyone else to do this same thing. Because you might/probably have a much better use for your time.
But I’m willing to endure a little discomfort or inconvenience for the sake of learning something I could possibly use over and over. Because, over the course of decades, it could be a HUGE time saver. And, in this age of poor workmanship and even poorer customer service, DIY ability is crucial.
So, I’ll find me an eyeglass scuff solution today.
And, if you’re interested in what it was and how it worked, just ask. I’ll let you know what I found out.
Eyeglasses are vitally important to me. I’ve worn them since I was a teenager. And I never wanted to risk injury to my eyeballs with contact lenses. I know lots of people have no problem with them. But some do. And I don’t want to take the chance that I’d be one of them. Blindness or permanent blurred vision or eye surgeries are options I’d like to skip.
Sort of weird that I’d start out writing about gnats and flies and end up talking about blindness, right?
Yeah, I’ve said it before. The Tony take on life and the world is sometimes a deep dive into odd, but probably divinely inspired, analyses, theories, and wonderment.
So, maybe you get something out of today’s meandering. And maybe you don’t. Either way, I gotta get back to my eyeglass scuff repair research.
Thankfully this partially blurred vision doesn’t extend down into my soul.
Got the sails up and a port in mind.
There’s a cool wind, blowing strong and kind.
Leaving doubt and fear so far behind…
I can see now where I once was blind.
