new glasses

I went to an eyewear shop a few weeks ago. I plan to have a new pair of glasses. The main reason to choose that shop is because I had a coupon to use.

 

The process went smoothly and I got a new pair of glasses. So far, I like wearing this pair of glasses and I don’t experience huge problems.

 

Nonetheless, glasses used to be a problem for me. I used to stay in Europe for a while. One day, I was with some friends, who just came to Europe for their honeymoon. They were really nice and prepared some gifts for me. However, during the trip, a friend asked me an interesting question. She asked me if I had enough contact lenses.

 

Back then, I frequently put on contact lenses. For me, it’s easier to play sports such as tennis or soccer. My friend knew that it was expensive to get a pair of glasses or contact lenses. If I don’t have enough contact lenses, the cost of buying contact lenses is quite high. Moreover, it’s expensive to have a pair of glasses. So, she told me to use glasses carefully.

 

Later on, I normally have 2 pairs of glasses with me. One pair is what I normally wear every day. The other is for backup. This has become normal for me. As such, while traveling, I truly don’t need to worry about glasses. Interestingly, I just met a colleague. He told me that he had 6 or 7 pairs of glasses. He can adjust different pairs of glasses with different clothes. Well, I don’t know how many glasses he would normally take while traveling. But I like his way of doing this. He has his own style and uses a different pair of glasses every day. Nevertheless, for me, I don’t like to think that much. 1 or 2 pairs are enough.
