Hurtling Toward Bifocals
I dropped into my local Pearle Vision yesterday because I was due (or likely OVERDUE) for my yearly eye exam and I'm down to my last pair of contacts. I intended to set an appointment for some time during the week, but they were able to take me straight away. I made the mistake of mentioning that my regular doctor there has been trying to get me to take the exam where my pupils are dilated and I keep "forgetting" to make that appointment. The doctor yesterday talked me into having it (I could still drive myself home, but I'd need sunglasses and there would be some slight blurriness). It wasn't so awful, really, until I was putting in my new pair of contact lenses and saw my pupils. Totally creeped me out.
I've also hit That Age where I'm going to need bifocals soon. The doctor didn't change my prescription this time because I can either get reading glasses to use when I have my contacts in, or, when I'm wearing glasses, I can just take them off to read. But next year, she thinks it'll be time for bifocal contacts (oh, joy).
Otherwise, my eyes are perfectly fine, so yay. I'm looking forward to my new glasses, too. I haven't had a new pair in about ten years.
