go to the eye doctor

she said i need to stop sleeping in my contacts (an admittedly bad habit i have), because my eyes are not getting enough oxygen and it shows. if i keep it up i could be susceptible to scarring eye sores – scary and not good.

i can still wear contacts, she said, but i need to give my eyes a break from them daily. she kind of freaked me out. glasses-time!

and glasses are really annoying.

i finally got an appointment for this wednesday. super early. wonderful.

now, to make that awful dentist appointment…

*Need to measure intraocular tension.

I’m nearsighted. Soon I will drag my best friend around and make her help me find frames because all of them made my face look weird.

Except for the numb eyeball thing, it wasn’t bad at all. That part was really freaky and stressed me out, the rest of it was easy peasy.

My vision is 20/25, which is great
because I thought it would be alot worse.
The doctor said my eyes were healthy;
I’m very happy with that :D

The doctor confirmed that I shouldn’t need glasses until my late 30s, and even then, only for reading :)

bothering me when i read…

and then, this goal showed up on my Magic 8 Ball of goals!

go figure.

My vision seems to be perfect, so I haven’t been to the eye doctor in at least 10 years. But according to my genes, I’ve got a 100% chance of needing glasses at some point in my life. Plus, now that my job requires me to stare at a computer for 8 hrs/day, it can’t hurt to go in and make sure everything’s okay.

I got started on this goal by signing up for my workplace healthcare plan’s eye care option in January. It doesn’t cost much per month, but it will be lost money if I don’t visit an optometrist this year.

I might get some new glasses as well. As soon as the insurance cards arrive I can figure out what I can get. I am tired of wearing my glasses so I am excited to get some contacts.

I have an appointment for this Saturday! I am completely out of contacts and have been wearing my glasses for 2 weeks. It is NOT fun. ;)
