It is not very often that I solicit advice on my appearance. But since the nature of my job puts my face in your living room every weeknight, I am interested in knowing what you think about my new glasses.

I never thought prescription glasses would make that big of a difference for me, since I can drive legally without them and have been told my whole life that I don’t need them.  I am nearsighted -- my left eye is better than my right one. But I recently found out I have an astigmatism in one eye, which can make it harder to drive at night.

So I bought a pair of glasses after a recommendation from my eye doctor, and I find myself wanting to wear them more often that not. Now I face a new decision: to wear my glasses or invest in contacts and have the option of wearing either.

I’d like to know what you think! Here is a shot of me on the news desk with glasses and one without. Are the glasses distracting? Or do you like the change?

Don’t worry, it won’t hurt my feelings either way. And thanks for your thoughts! =)
