Eye Of The Tiger
Today was a crunch day for me as I could not put up with it any more. The old peepers are getting on in years and I am finding it harder and harder to focus on things up close, and more recently far away too. So it was trip to the Optometrist time.
I do try to get my eyes checked yearly anyway so it's not so much of a shock. Ever since I was about 6-ish I have had a lazy right eye that turns in a little. Some people find that sexy, some people don't even notice it. I wore a patch over my "good" eye for a long time (well whatever a long time is in kiddy time frame) and was pretty mortified to be looking like a freak. It did however put me in good stead for the freaky uncontrollable hair and braces that turned up during my teenage years.
But a lazy eye is not the issue here. I am now officially long sighted...in one eye. The other eye seems to be pretty OK (I think).
I had the happy chore of picking out a nice pair of frames for the glasses I will be wearing for working on the PC and reading. I have never EVER owned a pair of sunnies that made me look half decent so I was a little reticent about what to get. Did I want stern school ma'am-ish or hippy or what? I finally settled on a pair of half frames in funky red.
They looks something like this...but nothing like it at the same time. Ill get a photo when they come in later in the week

I hate wearing glasses. I hate them, hate them, hate them. Hopefully they suit you better.
Well tiz only for reading and working on the computer...I am looking forward to getting them because it had become a problem for me , so much so that I can't read lots of text because my eyes are so tired that the effort is too much.
On the good side the MS still hasn't touched my optic nerves
That is indeed lucky. My mum can be short sighted in one eye, long in the other for a few months and then it can suddenly become some other strange prescription. She has had lenses with 5 different prescriptions amalgamated into one. Luckily it's settled for a while. She has diabetes too so who knows what's caused by what though.
