Eye doctor wins in end

Sheriff Mitch Alexander of Shoshone County (shown above in Facebook post) is sporting his first pair of glasses ever after noticing that the small print in books and documents was getting harder to read. In his words, Mitch said: "My arms were almost to short for me to read small print." Dick Vester of Vester Eye Clinic, who doubles as Wallace mayor, handled the eye exam and glass fitting. He told Mitch, who once took pride in his 20-20 vision, that sooner or later his friends will need to see him professionally.

Question: When did you get your first pair of glasses? Do you still wear glasses? Or do you wear contacts now?
