Marissa Walsh reflects on her past through the varied lens of her eyewear: the plastic children's frames; the gawky junior high I-have-braces-too; the not-quite-stylish high school contact lenses; the spare not-to-be-worn-in-public pair; the all-nighter bloodshot college eyes that made contacts impossible; and so forth.
