Has it really been three years since my last eye exam / glasses? It appears so. Dimly.
I’m really in serious need of an eye checkup. My distance vision is middling-okay. My reading vision, though, is having serious problems — if I’m just sitting reading for any length of time, I’m as likely to take the glasses off as anything else (and, yes, I have bifocals — well, graduated lenses).
Plus, after three years, I have a fine patina of scratches in the plastic. Oh, for the days of actual glass glasses.
Anyway, I finally got an appointment scheduled in a few weeks. We’ll see what’s what then. Though it will probably be blurry.
I had glasses briefly as a teenager when it was thought I had a astigmatism, but it turned out that eye doctor was smoking crack (at least according to the next one I saw) and I’ve been without glasses for most of my adult life. I’m just getting to that point that I have to play a little trombone to find the sweet spot to read fine print so I’m thinking it’s probably time I have my eyes reevaluated.
Of course I’ve not had a regular eye doctor in centuries so I’m not sure where to go. May drop my Doctor an email and see what she recommends.
Whereas I’ve had glasses since 2nd grade (and needed them before that, it turned out).
