My old pair have been broken for months and i’ve been relying on my contacts for an awful lot of the time. I’ve been putting off going to the opticians and ive even had a few appointments booked but ive backed out like an hour before, because i have a really irrational fear of the opticians.

It’s like when someone’s afraid of the dentists. I get inside the waiting room and i get this sudden urge to cry and i’m nervous and jumpy and i just can’t sit still. It’s just the thought of being in the dark room with bright lights/dye/lenses etc. being poked in my eye that absolutely terrifies me.

Anyway, i finally managed to get myself through the door and get my eyes tested, about 6 months overdue, and ordered a new pair of glasses. I’m quite excited actually because they looked really nice and i want to show them off.
