Update
Ok here's the update on my eyes....Basically it's eyes 1, krystal's life 0.
:S That's pretty pessimistic I guess but I'm just a little discouraged. I explained in the last journal how the whole process works when eyes decrease in strength and whatnot. So I was a -7 in both. Now...dun dun dun...my right eye is a -8 and my left is a -8.25. Fabulous. Then he proceeded to tell me that, "oh you seem to be having trouble focusing up close." (yeah I told you that you moron) then I ask "yeah why is that?" he replies "I'm not sure." Great. Thanks for your help I'll know pay you $90 because OHIP doesn't cover eye exams any more and be on my way. *sighs* Needless to say I have to go back for more tests next tuesday to see how my corneas are doing because apparently with the type of contacts I was wearing, it made my corneas swell so he gave me new ones to try and then wants to re-examine my corneas. Nice. More tests. I spent an hour doing test after test today with no results except, "yup you're eyes have definetely changed drastically again". No kidding. Why do you think I made the appointment?? So you that know me, know that I've been wearing glasses since I was in 7 (grade 1). My doctor says that for the first nine years my eyes slowly got worse like a normal person. It took nine years to get to a -4. In the last 4 years I've managed to double that. I went from -6 to -7 within 6 months and then a year and a half later I went to my now -8. And again, he has no idea why. He also says that hopefully my eyes will stop changing when I'm somewhere between 25-27 years old. But that I should expect to be at about a -10. HOLY CRAP. My dad, who's always had bad eyes and of course he's where I get it from, is a -5 in his left eye and a -4 in his right and THAT'S considered a high prescription. So what does that make me? Sad. Yup, that's what it makes me. Sad. And really really discouraged. So I'm going to sulk for a bit because I can. Then I'm going to try and suck it up and get over it. But I swear if that doctor sends me to check for diabeties one more effing time I'll throw something at him. I don't have blood left to give!!!
