Trifocal Terrors
“For now we see through a glass, darkly;
but then face to face:
now I know in part;
but then shall I know
even as also I am known.”
(1 Corinthians 13:12, KJV)
Have you tried progressive lenses yet? How about the new trifocal eyeglasses?
Recently, I splurged for these high-tech vision-correcting eyeglasses. Ideally, trifocal eyeglasses are supposed to offer long-distance vision correction, fairly close vision correction (as for computer usage) and up-close vision correction (for reading, writing, sewing and other detail work).
Mostly, my fancy trifocal eyeglasses just give me motion sickness . . . even when I am sitting still.
Know the feeling?
Maybe this circumstance contains a spiritual life lesson? Doesn’t every circumstance, if we will but look?
What a Sight –
A Limericked Glance at Lenses Askance
New spectacles set me a-reel.
The sharpest of scenes may congeal.
Still, I feign a smile,
Though blind for a while,
Concealing the discord I feel.
For vision’s much more than I see,
And insights are often the key.
Lord, call me apart
To see through Your heart.
Could be it’s not all about me.

I'd love to get Lasic, but the eye doctors tend to back away fast. Not that it can't be done, but I'm not a good candidate.
