I went for my eye exam yeserday and was once again told that I had made the wrong decision by choosing not to wear contacts. As a result, instead of staying relatively constant, my presciption has doubled in 9 years. (I have a feeling we’re looking at something like… from -3.75 to -7.50. He always gives me my prescription in terms of hundreds, so I’m not sure if there’s some kind of converstion going on there.) Yeah, so I’m basically blind without my glasses, and I guess it’s my own stubbornness that’s at fault.<\/p>\n
He didn’t try to give me a hard sell on contacts, this time, although he did hint that I needn’t wear contacts all the time and that they now have daily disposable contacts which I could wear when I chose and then go back to my glasses if I so desired.<\/p>\n
When I was trying on new frames (because that’s always fun, whee! :tongue:) he offered me a pair of lenses so that I could actually see what I’d look like with the frames. I said, “Sure, why not?”<\/p>\n
And let me tell you, it was so ODD to take glasses off and still be able to see. It didn’t feel right. I haven’t been able to see at a distance for a very, very, long time (and since my prescription was already moderately high when I got glasses, maybe I never had 20\/20 vision) and it reminded me of the first time I got glasses–“WAAAA!!!!! I CAN SEEEEE!”<\/p>\n
That being said, putting them in and taking them out is hard >_O They must have irritated my eyes or something, since I was walking around with bloodshot eyes for about 2 hours afterwards.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
