calanthe_b reminds you that asexual people exist.Making Light reminds you that crazy desperate people will say some shit that just ain't so. (wrt healthcare issues)
oursin has a few things to say about the same.annafdd on treating authoritarianism and hate with compassion. Man, in the past three weeks, I have gone from "I need to get in for my eye appointment" to "My God, I need a new prescription." It's amazing how fast that can happen. It's like there's a threshold you pass over, from "yep, these glasses are a year old" to "I can't see shit."
Well, it will have to wait for the Bantam delivery check to clear or some other money to wander through the door, because until it does, I am broke like a broke thing. And typing with one eye closed....
I don't want you to not be able to work on the next books...I'm addicted. ;)
which means now I'm torn, I want you to have Universe money arrive soon, but I also want a book sale. :P
But they are useful for saving my butt when necessary. Getting paid every six months is kind of sticky sometimes.
all you need is your prescription--i got my eyes checked at walmart with a coupon. the cost of everything total--glasses and sunglasses (and prescription lenses for my 19th century repro specs) was less than half for one pair alone. i lose and break my glasses all the time, and we've neither insurance or a great deal of money to spare. several friends also buy from there, so far none of us have had any problems dealing with them.
I've never had a problem with them, thank God. In fact, I will *wear* glasses now, when in the era before featherweights, I was wearing contacts exclusively, even when they killed my eyes, because they were heavy and awful and hurt, and the distortion anywhere but the exact center of the lenses gave me headaches.

Have you considered going into a store and looking through the cheater glasses to find something temp until you can get a new script and glasses? That might help for now.
Magnifying glasses are not gonna help, man.
Best of luck with getting new glasses soon--needing new ones and not being able to get 'em is my idea of pure hell.
I'm still resisting bifocals, even if people laugh that I hold stuff at length to read small print.
