There is a lot of emphasis on wearing sun screen, but not as much on wearing sun glasses. When you find out the name of your saran wrapped (smile) eyes, can you please comment again? I'd love to look it up and learn more. Thanks! @Patricia – protecting our eyes from the sun is very important.

I have worn glasses since age 6 due to a baseball injury to my eye...at school I wear contacts and glasses all the time and have to change my tri-focals for computer glasses when working there. I wanted to share a new problem which happens to about 20 percent of women after menopause and I have it! I am still working on getting the name correct...there is a filmy tissue that coats the back of the eye and for me that has become wrinkled in a few spots - and interferes with my balance a bit....they do not know why it happens and how to get rid of it but it comes and goes. It is not related to diet, more so with exercise, posture, and balance issues....(think plastic food wrap getting stuck to itself and how to untangle it) I am not reading so much right now to see if that helps....and believing that this will go away and using the Wii fit balance exercises to keep my posture and balance working well...all seems to be helping. I also can not go outside with out sunglasses, even on a rainy day...and that is helping a great deal....I have a glare coating on my glasses too...I have included my left eye in my daily affirmations and healing meditations and I am sure I am getting improvement. I also take a usable eye vitamin - vit C and that is certainly making a difference. I think the syndrome starts with a G.....I left a call at the Dr office to get the name spelled out for me...it is so new....but my Dr. thinks this is why so many women of a certain age start to loose their balance as your eyes are so crucial for balance and stability.

Each person makes up a rhyme about what they see in the store. I should do a post on childhood songs. I don't need glasses for any distance, including watching TV. I'm glad I don't need glasses full time. Mr Very Right is continually cleaning his. I do find even reading a book lying on the couch awkward with glasses. It's tricky to get the right head to book angle. @Davina – it’s the verse to the song. Each person makes up a rhyme about what they see in the store. I should do a post on childhood songs.

I have the same challenge. Don't carry my glasses with me all the time and it's a bit embarrassing if I go out for coffee and can't read the menu behind the counter. I usually just order a regular coffee. My biggest pet peeve is finding a comfortable position on the couch when I want to lay down and watch tv. The darn glasses get in the way. I need new glasses and have been procrastinating shopping for them... Ugh. LOL at your last campfire song. I have the same challenge.

I look OK in glasses, so I'm not bummed about wearing them full time when the time comes. Pet peeve — Ingredients on labels — I hate pulling out my reading glasses while shopping for groceries.
