get my eyes checked

And it seems it’s not as bad as I thought (all in the state of mind). I have a slight near-sightedness but nothing to be worried about I was told. My eyes are in great health but the light that bothers me will make me wear glasses later now if I don’t protect them (eyes) now. So I’m going back to get a prescribed sunglasses or one of those transition lens which I find totally cool :)

i’ve been putting it off forever.

Hmm, I thought that maybe I needed glasses.
But I had a quick eye check-up!

They said 20/20!

So Yay! That I got this goal DONE for now!

going to do this!

I don’t really want to.
That is why I have been putting it off.

But I made an appointment!

I’m due for an appt anyway and of recent i’ve been getting eye pain for no real reason, i need to make an appointment and figure out what’s going on there.

I finally got my eyes checked. My prescription is stronger (of course!) and I finally got the right kind of contacts for astigmatism. Less halos at night, and I can see clearly now!

Once upon a time I got a pair of glasses. Once upon a time plus two weeks, I lost my new glasses. I have been without a prescription for about 5 years now. I need to fix this.

someone brought in a program from a play that they’d seen that was about 4” x 5” and printed in what looked to be about 4 point type. All the info was there, scene list, bios, etc… it was just very very tiny. this was an eye test of sorts for everyone sitting around the table. I managed fine (there was lots of light), looks like reading glasses are not required, yet…

Reminded me of drawing a friend’s Dad brought back from Israel, from afar it looks like a landscape, when you look up close, it’s micro-calligraphy – biblical passages written very very small to look like bricks in the wall, or bark on the tree.

Well, technically only the lenses are new – I took Dana’s advice and asked if they could use my existing frames, and they did. The new lenses, while quite a bit stronger than my old ones (which I bought back in 2002), are much thinner and lighter…and they don’t distort my vision like the old ones. (The old ones made everything look smaller. Made reading and working on the computer very difficult.)

My new contacts come in next week. My prescription had changed a little since 2005 (when I last got contacts), but the doctor says my vision is pretty stable (finally!) and my eyes are extremely healthy. Yay!

(though am awaiting confirmation) for Saturday afternoon. You can schedule them online now – how cool is that?
