thessalianI know that no one really understands the human body all that well in terms of nitty-gritty detail. But I still want an answer to one pretty big question that came up during my (long overdue, admittedly) eye exam this afternoon:
How the unholy hell is my distance-vision in my right eye getting better?
Seriously. Yeah, my reading prescription needs upping (again, which we only found out the optician told me to stop squinting - I didn't even realise I was doing it so it must be pretty natural to me by now, which means my prescription really needed revision) and the distance-vision in my left eye is about the same, but ... apparently the long-range vision in my right eye has improved. Again. So ... why? How? And why isn't my left eye improving? What the fuck?
Anyway, before that epic conundrum, there was the standard sort of deal, which includes the eye pressure tests that are mandatory after you hit 30. Which means puffs of air in the eye. Which is unfortunate because my eyes are already itchy and sore and a bit watery because of the damn pollen everywhere, so now ... well, no fun. No fun AT ALL. And it's going to be worse next week. Because there's this little black dot in my field of vision in my right eye (yes, the one that's spontaneously improving - I don't even know anymore) and they want to do a thorough fundoscopy and that means dilation. Drops in the eyes. Woo. It's booked for 4:30pm Tuesday but I am apparently going to be unable to read for three hours and getting home's going to be a hoot and a half, I tell you. Fucksticks.
However, after all that and fighting off the Upsell Demon (no, dude, I do not use my peripheral vision all that much; I am a secretary and everything I do requires that my vision be focused on a rather small area right in front of my face, so paying an extra £100 for the reeeeeeeally good kind of varifocals is not necessary and not something I can afford, okay? And the glare resistance that you say wore off my current glasses without my even noticing? If I didn't notice it was gone off this pair, who the hell says I need it in the new pair?), I got the buy one pair of glasses, get the prescription shades free deal. Which is actually kind of cool because the prescription sunglasses? Technically more expensive than the pair I actually paid for. Buy-one-get-one usually means that the cheaper item is free, but not in this case. Then again, most of that £24 savings went on the eye exam. I think I can get reimbursed by the hospital, but I have to check.
I pick up my new glasses next week. Probably at the same time as I go and get further eye exams to find out why the little black dot. And now my eyes itch like hell and I'm kind of half dead. And they still haven't sacked Schrodinger's Admin yet (she currently exists in a state of fired/not-fired until the scientist - read, HR manager - observes the experiment) but at least there's a desk free all week.
I can haz weekend?
