Glasses

Tomorrow is the big day! I am going to pick up my specs! Wait did I not tell you folks the story>? Well I guess I will have to start from the very...well....start I guess. 


When I was 9 I completely failed half of my school wide eye exam. Only half is right. The right half.  My folks took me to the eye doctor and discovered I am almost blind in my right eye, and that my left eye had taken over....way over. I have you see what they call a stigmitisim....or something spelled similar to that. Among many other goofy things. (I bet you never knew that about me huh?). 

   From the age nine until 12 I wore glasses all the time, but they never really helped me see any better so I decided to stop wearing them. I take that back I did wear them quiet a bit in 11th grade because I thought maybe they would help me sit still in school (they didn't..and I am not sure why I thought that?). 
   NOW I sit in front of the computer ALL day long, and that does a real number on my eyes. It has been really hard, because my eyes start to hurt. So now once again, I have decided to get my eyes checked out. Having no insurance I needed to do this cheap..real cheap. Americans Best won the cheap battle. I was somewhat nervous that they wouldn't do a good job, but they actually explained to me what was going on with my eye better than any other eye doc has. He explained that My glasses probably won't make me see any better (than whats the point right>>??), but that I am straining my eyes all the time. I guess that is really bad for my eyes, and the glasses will make me relax my eyes and they should stop hurting! YAY! Plus I might get a little more depth perception which is always a good thing. So I will post a photo as soon as I get back with the glasses!
