four-eyes fashion

i have horrible eyesight, but i almost always wear contacts. i save those "glasses days" for when i absolutely can't bear the idea of putting my contacts in. but yesterday while shopping with Ro, i bought new glasses. they are a fun switch from my dark frames and at this price (5250yen) i might just have to become a regular glasses wearer, a bonafide four eyes, complete with a glasses collection. hello fashion メガネ:



p.s. i don't know what my vision is uncorrected but my contacts are -6.0 which is off the chart i found. ha. anyway, my new glasses give me 1.2 vision - better than 20/20! for anyone else who has been confused by the japanese (metric) way for measuring eye sight:

metric/snellen/estimated prescription

2.0 = 20/10 = zero
1.3 = 20/15 = zero
1.0 = 20/20 = zero to -0.25
0.8 = 20/25
0.6 = 20/30 = -0.50
0.5 = 20/40 = -0.75
0.4 = 20/50 = -1.00 to -1.25
0.2 = 20/100 = -1.75 to -2.00
0.1 = 20/200 = -2.00 to -2.50
