The Knife Through the Head prop, rather late, but when I was ill, I was neither up to taking photos, nor did I want to be seen so green. I think it looked a bit more convincing over my OR hat.
The new, progressive lens, glasses. My brain is adjusting pretty well, although the muscles in my eyes are tired and a bit achy from the unfamiliar movements. Nothing I can't handle, and it's lovely not to have to snatch my glasses from my face every time I need to see something right in front of me. My hand keeps wanting to try, then needs to be reassured that yes, I can see just fine, thanks anyway. Still using the old glasses to drive, since I can glance better with them. Not cheap frames, which is painful financially. But shoes and glasses are not a good place for bargain hunting, winds up more expensive in the end. But I got an employee discount, and payroll deduction, which makes it doable. And I can see to scrub properly. Will facilitate grocery shopping as well. Going to be happy with them, after an initial period of adjustment.
And, they suit. The woman at the eye center picked out a few for me, nixing others, apologizing that she was being bossy, but I was glad of her expertise. I knew I had ultimate veto, but I trusted her immediately. There was a cheaper pair, but it was already wobbly, whereas this pair just sat on my face like a cat who belongs.
Oh, the joys of seeing clearly.

The new progressive lenses are so much better than the bifocals our parents' generation had to wear. I've completely adjusted to mine.
Looking good. Getting reading glasses is similar to adjust to, I find I'm still pushing them down to read over the top, then realising I can read at a lovely comfortable distance with them on.
Cool head gear.
Great news on the improved vision for different scenarios.
My son just got glasses also, and they suit him quite well.
the knife is cool but probably the glasses have more long-lasting appeal
Great photo of you in your new glasses (I like the background too.) I've worn progressives a number of years now and love them. So much better than chasing glasses around the house, I keep telling friends who resist.
I love that description, sitting like a cat that belongs.
They do. both specs and cat!
In the 70s a man turned up at Heath Hospital in Cardiff with a crossbow bolt through his head. No damage apart from a hole where there shouldn't be!! I heard from a friend who was a junior doctor...they came from all over the hospital to see it!! (it ended up in the local paper too)
Yes, those spectacles become you!
