Having stared longingly at my profile pic for a few hours, perhaps picturing yourself at my side, blissfully happy and at one with the world, it probably came to your attention that I am bespectacled; I employ what is known as face fashion, that I am, in short, blind as a bat without my glasses. It will come as no surprise then to find I am very familiar with half the opticians in the city and the fact that I can see the keyboard as I type means they have done their job admirably. The guys at Crystaleyes are among my favourite — the selection is more than the run of the mill stuff you find in places like specsavers and I always feel like the care they give is a bit more… well… less ‘discounty’ than the bigger shops. does that make sense? it does in my head!
