No More Squinting Because Of The Sun

I love to swim.  I really do.  Sometimes, I like to just float around in the pool, soaking up the sun, but most of the time, I am in the water with the kids, having fun.  Since the beginning of summer, I have been taking my glasses off before getting into the water.  It makes it a lot easier to go under the water if I don't have to worry about them.  The only problem is that I can not see, and the sun is really, really bright bouncing off the water.

When we were in the pool yesterday, I was getting in and out a lot to check on the steak that was on the grill.  I kept having to put my glasses back on, and then take them off, and at one point, I got into the pool with them still on.  It was interesting to actually be able to see in the water!  Now I think I want to buy a pair of prescription sunglasses to wear in the pool.   I found this really cool pair at ZenniOptical.  What do you think?

Pretty funky, right?  There is no way I would wear them in public, but I would totally wear them in the pool.  I mean, they're purple!  I also found a bunch of "normal" frames that I would wear in public, and because they are so reasonably priced, I could get more than one pair. 

Maybe I'll get these to wear in public:

They are pretty nice, right?  I think I could pull these off.  They are the same shape as my regular glasses, so I know they'll fit my face.  All I know is that it will be nice to be able to see while blocking out the sun. 

Ryan Needs New Glasses

My son, Ryan, wears glasses in school. He only needs them to see the board from the back of the room, so most of the time they are in his book bag. I asked him the other day if I could see them, and I couldn't believe the condition they were in. They were scratched so bad I couldn't stand looking through them. The thought of taking him to get new glasses scares me, because I know how expensive a pair of glasses can be.

Luckily I found Optical4less.com. They offer complete eyeglasses for as little as $15. I couldn't believe the different styles they offer. They have rimless, semi-rimless, hingeless, plastic and even titanium frames. They have tinted, bifocal, and progressive lenses available to go in the frames that you chose. If you decide that you want more than one pair you can even get free shipping. At these prices, you could have a different pair for each day of the week.

Your new glasses come with a bunch of freebies, too. Anti-reflective coating, UV protection coating, anti-scratch hard coating, a cleansing cloth, and a colorful, stylish hard case are all included free of charge. If you want to here from some of there satisfied customers, check out their website. I know that hard case and anti-scratch coating will be perfect for Ryan.
