myope+myope = family of myopes. So while our children may be genetically predisposed to understand higher math they will never be pilots in the air force (at least until they relax the perfect vision requirement, but by that time all the interesting flying will be done remotely anyway and the kids whose parents let them play xbox 10 hours a day will get the job). We've known for a while that Max's vision was going but put off getting him glasses just to preserve his glassless freedom for a little while more. But it finally reached a point where it was time to give in. So we took him down to the local eye doctor and got him checked. Sure enough he needed -1.0 for each eye. We debated for a second whether we should get glasses as Costco, Walmart, Pearle, strip mall eyeglass place, etc. But once you've started buying glasses online from China for $8 a pair (lenses included) it's hard to pay anything close to a retail price. As some of you may know Max busted my glasses when we were living in Berkeley and while I was searching for a cheap replacement I stumbled across Zenni optical. While many of the styles are a bit funky to say the least and it takes a while for your glasses to arrive since they literally are on a slow boat from China, the price can't be beat. So for a quarter the price of one pair of glasses we picked up four. Max is thrilled and I feel no panic about him breaking or losing his glasses. Now if only I could find a cheap Chinese importer for orthodontics. But enough talkie talkie. It's the pics you really care about.
