Myopia, Meet A Tendency To Lose One's Glasses

[Pink Bat Maxine]

Anyone have this problem. I'm severly myopic, to the point of legal blindness, but sometimes in the morning I just can NOT find my glasses.


Anyone? Relate? Anyone?

You are not alone.

This is why I always try to be *very* careful of where I put down my glasses---I can't see to find them, especially if they're on something where they "blend in." At night, they're always on the nightstand right beside my cell phone.

And yes, once I did do the "sit down on my glasses" thing, because I'd set them on the bed before a shower, got out, didn't see them there and sat down on them when I went to put on my socks. Argh.

WHY can't they put a little "beep beep/light up" remote on glasses, like they do on cars? (Just kidding---it'd make the glasses far too heavy.)

I often fall asleep with my glasses on, I learned my lesson with contacts years ago passing out... ouch.

It's horrible, isn't it? I get into this little panicked 'I'll never see AGAIN!' state. Silly, but I do.

put a small cardboard or plastic container by your bed

put you glasses, wallets, keys and other stuff in it when you strip down in the night

chance of losing personal basics ...reduced.

I fell asleep with my contacts still in the the other night, and freaked out the next morning when they weren't in their case.....It never registered that I woke up seeing perfectly for the first time in 25 years.....
