GLASSES. It’s time. Well, it’s been time for a while, but I never really knew just how much I needed them. It started about three weeks ago, a friend had me try their glasses on… Yeah, AMAZING, I never knew the human eye could see so much detail!
A week after that, my mom took me to the Optometrist. He had been given a small triangular closet space (as this was in Fred-Meyer) but he had used that space most effectively. In the very tip of the triangle, where no one could really fit easily, he placed a little projector screen. I thought it was pretty smart space usage, and nifty to have a dynamic projector display.
Everything checked out okay. I have a slight stigmatism (My mom has a MAJOR one) which is basically just a deformation in the eye. Other than that, and, being nearsighted (which is ACTUALLY really USEFUL for the computer. In my Optometrist’s words, “It’s like having a pair of reading glasses with you constantly”), my eyesight is very good! One of my favorite/least favorite tests (Haven’t decided yet) was the pressure test — It was like having a little ball of air shot directly into your eye… In fact, that’s exactly what it was! All complete with scientific-y operational beeping.
Afterwards, we went to select a frame for the glasses… Most of them were very dorky, I joked to my mom: “These glasses do not let me see… They let the world see into my geeky soul! 0.0″
Anyways a week went by, and, today, I finally have them! They’re AMAZING. I can see TREES on the mountains, and see the leaves on trees in the distance… I can actually read text on the TV… I can see household items with SO much detail, AND I’ve begun noticing things that sort of faded out in the distance before! Clouds look wispy now, not like big blobs.. It’s really great!
In case you were wondering, this is what I now look like:
