Glasses of the world: Instruments of sight

  Date: 11/7/20 Time: 6:30pm Owner: Colton K. Location: Near Flandreau, South Dakota.      Materials: Plastic lenses  Black frames  Condition: Newer (6-months-old) Type of glasses: Prescription, needed to fix his lazy eye, nearsighted The story behind the glasses: These glasses belong to my nephew Colton who, like his brothers and sister, loves to go hunting. These glasses have had a rather interesting time being in the possession of my nephew. While he was playing football he accidentally stepped on them. It broke the frames and they had to be fixed with super glue. Then another time he was playing football the ball hit him in the face. That made the super glue break and it had to fixed again. I am very used to seeing him with the glasses on. So, it is rather odd when I seem him without them. I'm just not used to it.

  Date: 11/9/20 Time: 1:00pm Owner: Stacy B. Location: Madison, South Dakota.      Materials: Plastic lenses  Black frames  Condition: Old (a few years old) Type of glasses: Prescription  The story behind the glasses: These glasses belong to a professor/advisor of mine Dr. Stacy Berry. She has been very helpful to me throughout this semester and in the classes, I have taken with her. These glasses have a pretty interesting story attached to them. When Dr. Berry ordered the first pair of these they were the wrong prescription so she sent them back. However, after she did this they were out of the frames she wanted. So, almost a year later she got an email saying the frames she wanted were available. She immediately ordered them and got the pair of glasses you see in the picture. Also, the glasses are sitting next to one of her favorite elephants. They came with the right prescription this time and she started using them. However, once everything went on...

 Date: 11/3/20 Time: 1:05pm Owner: Annette C. Location: Pipestone, Minnesota     Materials: Plastic lenses  Brown purplish frames  Condition: Old (5-years-old) Type of glasses: Perscription  The story behind the glasses: These glasses belong to the woman who has been giving my haircuts since I was pretty young. She was nice enough to help me set up this engaging picture. She had dropped these glasses and a few different times. On more that one occasion she has had one of her grandchildren bump heads with her. This knocked the glasses off of her head, thankfully not damaging them. She does not need them to see close up. Which is pretty helpful considering she styles and cuts hair. In any case, she has never given me a bad haircut. 

 Date: 11/1/20 Time: 1:01pm Owner: Jeffery K. Location: near Flandreau, South Dakota    Materials: Plastic lenses with bifocals at the top   Black metal frames  Condition: Old (4-years-old) Type of glasses: Perscription  The story behind the glasses: These glasses belong to my uncle Jeff, my dad's older brother. He is a person I usually see with his glasses on. Though he has had several pairs of them over the years. I really can not think of him without his glasses. Now he has not lost or sat on these glasses there is an interesting story linked to them. Just a week or two, on a Sunday, to be specific, before this picture was taken he had accidentally dropped them. Both of the lenses popped out. Thankfully he had a backup pair he could use for a while. He called his eye doctor, who came over personally and fixed my uncle's glasses. This is something you really don't see much anymore.
