Oh I Went to the Eye Doctor He Told Me What to Do
I did indeed visit the eye doctor today. My prescription had expired and so had my supply of contact lenses. Plus it had been almost two years since my last visit. He told me the most amazing thing:
For what I think is the very first time ever, my prescription has not changed. I am at 20/20 in each eye with correction and better than 20/20 with both eyes together. So I don't need new glasses, and I don't have to worry about the narsty headaches what come wiv increasing the refraction index of my lenses. Glory be and hallelujah!
If I'm lucky, this is where my eyes follow the lead of my (I think) great-grandfather, whose nearsightedness was eventually so well-matched by his farsightedness that the one corrected the other and he got to stop wearing correction entirely. Mind you, I'm like Marilyn Monroe in How to Marry a Millionaire. "Just blind as a bat, that's all". That'd have to be some farsightedness.
