Reply #3: I had my eyes opened to the reality of "America is the best" [View All]

[truedelphi]

Way back in the late seventies. I was on a three month tour of Scandanavia - I had stupidly left my Coke Bottle sized glasses at home.

Had to visit a Norwegian opthamolgist and get glasses there or experience Europe as a blur.

I was issued a pair of eyeglasses with paper thin lens - these would be common here about four or five years later. I was super impressed!

And this was in an area that was considered backwards in terms of what most of Europe offered!
