And I can't imagine going out and shopping. I mean, it's not as if I can see what I look like.

That's where cameraphones can be slightly useful.

I'm not opposed to cheap technical fixes, but. . . well, maybe I am.

So you're saying I can just get something really cheap and not worry about it? Sounds about right.

108 dollars later. . . Huh. That did not go as planned.

They should have jury duty for the optometrist. Panel of people for the sold purpose of reacting to you wearing different frames. Less people can avoid that. It's not like anybody can say, "No speak English".

I fully endorse it. I did consider going to an optometrist in some visible place and demanding opinions of random passers-by, but decided that idea would probably lead to my getting arrested.
