And new glasses from clearlycontacts.ca

Nice. Now I’m off the hook for another 6 years. :) 2 months ago

I’ve been feeling lucky about my eyesight for my whole life.

But, I knew it had been some years since my last check-up and just because it seems okay doesn’t mean that it is (all those other tests that are conducted for serious problems that you want to catch early).

I really think that I had another check-up in 2009, but didn’t log it here. My previous entry is for 2007.

This past October I finally went for a check-up. I found out that my eyes are fine, and if I feel like I still don’t need glasses, then the eye doctor was good with that. My left eye is great for close-up vision whereas my right eye sees the far stuff. (There’s a name for that, but I don’t remember it.) That was quite a revelation. It explained why sometimes I would say, do I need some glasses for threading this needle? No, not always. Or, why sometimes I’d think that yeah, the stuff on the horizon isn’t as crisp as before, but other days I’m seeing it just fine.

I’m glad that I got the go-ahead to not use glasses. I admit it, I’m vain. I didn’t want to have to start wearing the “now you’re over 40 glasses.” At least for a couple more years. :) 6 months ago

I had my eye appointment this afternoon. Sad to say, my vision is at 20/300 without glasses (but the optometrist said my vision will be at 20/20 with glasses). Ugh! I’m glad I got my eyes checked, though, as it’s been three, maybe three-and-a-half years and my eyes have been hurting, not to mention I’ve had headaches with and without my old glasses (that I accidentally broke about two weeks ago). My new glasses are going to come in the mail as quickly as possible; I’m glad because then I can resume my life since being without glasses is a pain in the neck! I’m also glad that my MA covers by glasses, although I wish contacts are covered by insurance because then I’d get contacts to wear except when I’m driving, when I’d instead wear glasses. But in any case, my time was well spent. There really was nothing to be anxious about; I should’ve done it as soon as I had gotten my MA last year! Hopefully my MA covers yearly visits to the optometrist’s because I want to start going that often! 11 months ago

Apparently I have better than 20/20 vision! The pain that I get from the glare is due to having a larger than normal pupil. Thus, my eyes trap more light than the average person. But it’s nothing a good sunglasses can’t cure! That…and not starring at the computer screen for long periods.
