Mine was usually prompted by a hit in the face with a dodge ball or impacting with another human person. My mother had three of us in glasses, in school as well as herself and our “nanny.” I don’t know how she afforded it, except maybe it was because we didn’t all lose them at the same time.
What was bad was having to send them off for two weeks while the frames were re-fitted with new lenses!
Fun days, growing up!
I sat on a pair of glasses once. Frank has astigmatism, like Tom although not to the same extent, so he’ll be wearing glasses for the long haul.
Tom lost a lens during the overnight test for Wilderness Survival Merit Badge. “Did you look for it?” I asked when he got home from camp, and he just rolled his eyes and sighed.
