Bifocals

　　I've never been helped choosing my glasses by others, but a professional stylist and about 30 strangers advised me this time and I took their advice. After the choice of the frames, I had to choose the lenses.
　　When I make a round in the ward, I always feel it inconvenient to write the patient's record into the chart. I have to take my glasses off every time. That is to say, I take off and put on my glasses the same times as the number of inpatients. That's why I chose the bifocal ones which are for far-sight and close-sight. Additionally I bought middle and close-sight ones for desk work. They are very useful for using the PCs.
　　However, the principal factory of the lens company is located in Thailand, which is still suffering from unprecedented flooding across the country. I have to wait for the lenses for 2 weeks. I can't wait. I didn't even imagine that I was affected by Thailand's flood.
　　As soon as they are delivered, I'll post the pictures of them here. The size of the lenses is considerably smaller than that of the ones which I use now. The arms of the frames are also elaborately designed . These glasses might make me look more intelligent. (grin)
