Boys don’t make passes at girls who wear glasses.
If I thought it was likely that any boys would make passes at me at my age, well, I just ended an era for myself. Today I went to get glasses.
Although they are “just for reading” I know this is a slippery slope. Once Mom was fitted for reading glasses, she never went without again.
To anyone shopping for megane in Tokyo, I can recommend Zoff. They are quick, professional and inexpensive. My new glasses were only 5,000 yen.
And best of all, the cute, 20-something optometrist spoke English. I was slightly worried about the examination in Japanese, so I was very happy when Hikage-san just jumped right in and spoke perfectly fluent English to me. He made the whole experience much easier.
But he didn’t make a pass…
