I got a mild prescription for eye glasses about six years ago. They were supposed to help with reading and night driving. Sometimes I would use them when I spent a long time looking at a computer screen.

Because they only seemed to slightly enhance my vision, I never took to using them with much frequency. Over the course of the last year or two they’ve been left in a box, untouched.

Lately, my eyes have been stuck in boxes, moving between a multitude of spreadsheet cells for hours at a time. I dug into that abandoned box and dusted off my handy glasses, thinking I’d be doing my eyes a favor.

Funny thing is, nothing was clear when I put them on. Everything was actually more blurred.

Curious metaphor.

Seems my sight has changed.
