I've got some of those masks but I'm not sure if they're actually n95's.
I'll have to fish them out tomorrow and take a look.

Dummy me hadn't thought about using one of these. Thanks!

Sunday I broke my own rule about not shopping on the weekend and got ready
to head to JoAnn Fabrics. Put on lipstick, thankfully I only wear the non-
smearing type, and put on a mask. Then I thought that was stupid to put
on lipstick.

Many times over the years with my work, I'd have to use a
grinder at work. To smooth out badly peeled paint outside.

For that, you definitely wear a mask so not to breathe in
paint dust. Also want to wear goggles or some kind of glasses
to protect your eyes from flying bits. It was annoying as
the glasses would always fog up.

A decent compromise was to wear a tight fitting mask with
a metal band on top. You put the mask on then squeeze it
on both sides of nose to make a tighter fit. But put the
mask on a bit lower on your nose. Then with glasses, pull
them off your face a bit to allow more air between face
and glasses.

Here's a repeat photo of the masks I've used. I'm glad
I held on to 3 unused now with the virus mess. You can
use them over and over too. Just let them dry out then
put away for the next use. 2-3 days later, any virus
left on them dies out. Don't ever wash this kind, it
will fall apart in the washer. (guessing)

For the quick store trips, I only use the top band
and let the lower one hang. Just the top one holds
the mask on tightly. Look for these in a paint store
if you have one nearby.

Note: you can buy cheaper masks that have only one thin
rubber band too. They don't filter quite as good and
that thin band will break after a few uses.

For paint dust you really need to wear a respirator, they cover the
entire face including eyes and have replacable filtration canisters,
there are many brands. A must for spray painters.

My glasses would fog up from the mask too but since my cataract
surgery no more glasses. I didn't know I had cataracts until I went
to a different eyeglass place and was examined by an Opthamologist.
Opticians mainy sell glasses, they don't examine eyes.

My wife does some quilting too but she much prefers knitting.
The N95 masks are fitted with a one way vent so the air you inhale is
filtered by the mask, when exhaling that moist air passes through the
vent, very little fogging of glasses. I started wearing the N95 mask
for mowing grass, filters out dust/pollen... Amazon had them for
cheap, a box of 12 cost like $8... I still have a bunch, they are much
more comfortable than the run of the mill paper masks sold everywhere.
I still wear an N95 for mowing. My big tractor has a cab and it has a
cabin filter, but really doesn't filter out all the fine particulates
so I still wear an N95. A paper mask is not for protecting the wearer
from the virus, it helps protect those nearby if the wearer
coughs/sneezes. For best virus protection wear a military style gas
mask. Amazon sells them but they cost.

WOW! Just beautiful!! I've started a Dresden plate quilt and that's
about it. Started it. Does she do the quilting portion, too, or does
she send the top out to a long arm quilter??

The only thing that got me out of the house this past Sunday to shop
was that I had a one day only 60% off coupon. I wasn't going to let
that pass without me galloping to their store.

Optometrists examine eyes, opticians grind the lenses, (my oldest brother
was one) and Ophthalmologists treat eye diseases.

My ophthalmologist examines my eyes. He does the refraction to get
the prescription for my glasses, dilates my pupils and examines my
retinas.

My optometrist does all that but if there is a problem he has sent me to
an opthalmologist in the past.

I have seen two different ophthalmologists over the years. The first one
one was a lump on my lower eyelid that turned out to have been a
chilazion that had to be surgically removed. Not a big deal. He froze
the area, stuck some sort of device there to hold my eyelid in place and
then poked around to remove the hard cyst. It was disconcerting to hear
and feel the scritch scritch scritch as he dug it out.

The second one was about a fatty deposit on the side of my eyeball. He
monitored it for a couple years, sent me for a couple CTscans to allow
him to measure it. It did not change in all that time, so the annoying
feeling there is attributed to the chilazion and the loss of the tear
duct when it was removed.

I see an optometrist once a year to check my visual acuity. I was in
about three weeks ago and I just got my new glasses two days ago. Nice
to have nice clean, unscratched lenses and the new prescription. There
was no dilation this time. Due to Covid19 and protective masks she
cannot see the retina so they go high tech and use the retinal scanner.
