I guess I knew that, but I thought an optometrist could/would also
measure.  I probably confused it in my head because I go to a guy who is
both an optometrist and an optician.  I'm glad you straightened me out
though.  If anyone can measure, no wonder Dr. God was insulted...lol
And I will call the optician/optometrist who did my bifocals this time.
  He's local and who I would normally pay anyway.  I'm pretty sure that I
can get the info fairly easily from him.

I am 'looking forward' to getting new glasses.  I am going to get two
pair, one with shades.  At those rates, even I can afford it.  The
scleritis makes me very sun sensitive, more than normal even.  I'm as
white as white can be and even my eyes are sensitive-always have been.
I believe the Saami also used the slit eyewear like the Inuit.  I
understand why.  I've always been somewhat of a cave creature, a bat
avoiding the light of day.  When I found out that I was from the land of
the midnight sun, I understood all of that.

asked a woman for directions and followed them, allowing them to arrive
at their destination.
