I decided to start off the new year by having clean eyeglasses. It’s a good idea at any time, really, but it seemed like a doable task for the new year to clean all our eyeglasses. Hubby and I both have prescription glasses and then have reading glasses scattered hither and yon around the house. I always have good intentions to clean my glasses often, but they somehow get smudged while I’m not looking.

First, I took care of the pair of reading glasses in the bathroom where the eyeglass cleaner is stored. [That’s one.] The next room to take care of was the bedroom, where there were three pair of reading glasses: two on one side of the bed, one on the other. [Four]

In the kitchen

The kitchen had two pair of reading glasses as well, one for hubby and one for me. [Six] The little bathroom had one, both computer desks had two, the extra bedroom (TV room) had one. [Twelve] My purse had an extra pair (just in case I forget my prescription glasses at home). [Thirteen]

I found two sets in my vehicle and I think hubby’s has two as well; he was gone at cleaning time, so I’m going on memory, there. [Seventeen] And I’m pretty sure I have an extra set at work; I’ll take care of those later. [Eighteen]

At my computer desk

I cleaned our prescription glasses and decided to call it a day. [Twenty]

How did we end up with that many? When we started our “collection,” hubby and I used the same magnification level in our reading glasses; we could share. That changed after a few years and then we needed different glasses. Costco and Sam’s sell them in sets of three, so that’s part of the answer. It looks as if the only ones we retired were the broken ones.

We have so many we should be able to find a pair even with our eyes closed.
