So, today is my scheduled annual eye exam. Today is the day I wonder. . . . is this the year that I need glasses???? Is this the year??? For the past few years, the doctor tells me I am fine this year, but not to be surprised that I will need glasses next year. . . . . .
Let me back up. . . . back in third grade I flunked the eye exam at school. Yup, FLUNKED it. Turns out that I had a lazy eye, which meant one eye was FINE and the other eye was not working at all. Not only did I need glasses, but I had to patch during the day for 30 minutes. How I hated that patch. I still have nightmares about the patch.
I needed glasses throughout college, more so for reading and concentrating, and then one day I didn't need glasses - at all!!! The eye doctor at the time told me that I would need them again at some point, but to enjoy myself! So I did! I have been glasses free since grad school!!!!!
I have noticed that my very clear ability to see exit signs FAR away has decreased. I did mention that to the doctor last year, who said that it was normal, and my eyes were 20-20 for distance. Just to get used to the fact that very far away signs would not be what they once were. . . . .
I have noticed that when I read for a long time (at night) I should make the Kindle font larger and I have purchased the CVS reading glasses.
And now I wait to find out if this is the year.
