Lens

I went to the opticians today to order a spare pair of reading glasses! I am notoriously bad at losing my specs, I hardly ever put them in their case & just leave them lying around , has been known in the fridge !! The last time I was in New Zealand I left my spare reading ones in some cafe in the wip wops( In the wilds !) If I had no reading glasses it would be just terrible so thought I had better get a spare pair. The opticians were very good & let me photograph stuff in the examination rooms for this weeks theme ! Of course you will recognise these as testing lens.
Great shot for the theme Pat have you thought of having your spec's on a cord round your neck ?

Great shot - but we should have had a selfie of you being tested ... using these lenses!

Oh - great idea - and I took Adam yesterday and never even thought about it! Did the optician think you were barmy?!

Wonderful shot, Pat! Creative of you to think of doing that pic. I am blind as a bat without my glasses too. Try to be careful about them, but I do "mis-place" them frequently. Ha.

@jmj @judithg @karenann I wasn't tested today just went for a spare pair to replace !! I was actually brave enough to ASK if I could take a picture & do you know they took me over the whole place showing me machines, testing equipment ..everything . Of course I had to explain the whole 365 project & they were so interested. Thank you all for your comments !

Very interesting, something I have never taken much notice of.

I'm very familiar with all this gear Pat - but what a great theme shot! I laughed at your wip wops - never heard of that before. Glad you got your glasses sorted. Now to look after them and remember where you put them!

Very Fun photo! Like the primary colors too.

This is good and the story of friendly opticians is very nice too! Are the frames brightly coloured so you see where you have put them down!!
