Eye Spy

May 29, 2009 20:41

So, I finally went to get my eyes examined because I haven't done so since I was, like, 17. Now, i knew I had an astigmatism, but my previous doctor really didn't tell me anything about it. So it turns out that it's a really bad astigmatism in my right eye and the prescription I have on my current glasses is not powerful enough to correct it. I'm talking, like, in the 200s for my right eye. So they wrote me a new prescription, and when I get my new pair of glasses in a week or so I'm going to need to adjust. If it works I can have 20/20 with my glasses on. If I can't adjust, I'll just have to live with not-as-good-as-20/20.

At first I was pissed and I was like: why am I pissed? It's not going to change anything. I figured it out though. I'm pissed because clearly my previous doctor should have fucking said something and done something to correct the issue. Had I known about it I certainly would have gone for more frequent eye exams.

I picked out new frames, by the by. I went with rectangular and black instead of what I wear now. Sadly my current frames are still available, but I've been wearing them for six years or so now and I'm tired of them. Hopefully these won't fall apart as easily.
