The visit plus the specs put a small dent in the construction budget, not so small that a luna moth wouldn't notice...

Did you get lined bifocals? Also, if one eye is much worse than the other, be prepared for a BIG adjustment when you first wear them. As long as everything is clear, all the other weird perception issues will go away - just put them on and leave them on. And please don't tell me you got them at a chain store.
