Four Eyes Are Not Better Than Two
I’ve got my glasses on since I have an eye appointment this afternoon.
When I got my contacts a couple months ago, I had them made according to my current eye prescription, which is way off from the original prescription before my surgery. The vision in my left eye is at about half of what was before, which is pretty awful. But with my contacts, by vision is awesome.
So when I do wear my glasses, which were made with my pre-operative prescription, I’m pretty much walking into walls. OK, fine, I’m not, but I did get a little confused when I got off the train and I couldn’t find stairs to the bus. I felt like an old lady!
I’ve got training at work today, so I have no idea how I’m going to see the stuff on the screen. I’ll have to sit right in front of the wall to see anything.
Of course, if I close my left eye and just look out my right, the world is good again. Well, except for that perception thing - you need two eyes for that.
So how long do I have to go through this visually impaired torture? It’ll take my left eye about 2 years to return to its original crappiness (which is better than its current level of ass suckiness).
The bright side?
I can see. Plain and simple. It may not be 20/20, more like 60/20, but I’ve got my sight, so I guess that’s what matters.
i know what you mean. i got new contacts in December, but i forgot to bring my glasses–duh. however, i’m pretty sure the prescription is still ok. anyway, my contacts were maybe 10 years old, so i definitely needed a new pair. (they were gas permeable.)
didn’t know you had eye surgery. well, at least you don’t have to wear an eye patch. yar!
im thinking of doing lasik, but the glasses look so nice on my face ! :p
