OK, that's a signal

Earlier this morning I had been sitting here at my computer reading something on a web site, when all of sudden the left side of my vision went blurry. So, I removed my glasses, and lo and behold, the left lens had fallen out. And this had happened because on the semi-rimless frames I have, I now see there is a thin strip of plastic that runs across the bottom of each lens that attaches at two points on the frame in order to hold the lens in place, and the strip of plastic for the left lens had separated from one of it's attachment points.

I'm relieved this happened at home, needless to say! I don't want to think about what may have occurred if this had happened while I was driving my car on a freeway, for instance.

I have been starting to think about seeing the optometrist I've gone to before for an examination, so now I definitely will do so. I decided to not try to mess around with attempting to repair the glasses myself, since the lenses are only a very minor change in the prescription from my previous lenses; I dug out the glasses with those lenses and am now wearing them. And I'll call the optometrist's office first thing Monday morning for an appointment.
