Oh, Eye See
Aug. 20th, 2016 02:48 pmHad my first optometrist appointment in four years today. Maybe five. I've been having issues with eye fatigue and focusing, especially at the very start of the day and the worst at the end of the work day. I feared it was the beginning of bifocal time...
Nope. My myopia has improved a bit, so my glasses and contacts are actually too strong for me, causing my eyes to freak out. Doctor also said that for being about seven years old, my contact lenses aren't in terrible shape. I won't get new contacts until they can get my info from my prior optometrist which, now that I know the fix is nearly upon me, seems like too far away. LOL.
It's still kind of the first stages of needing bifocals - I recall my mom doing away with her glasses for a few years because her eyesight "improved" and the next time she went in, her prescription was for bifocals.
I didn't like any of the frames they had, though, so I'm running the bajillion pair I already have (some unworn) by some people to see if I should just recycle them.
Yesterday was the hottest day we've had all year - still not bad, I think it hit 95F, though the folks around here act like they're going to keel over at 75, sooooo. I had to remind people that at least we only have these kinds of temps for a few days, not a few months. Still, too hot for the doggies to go far, especially considering the heat on their paws from the rock/pavement. I took Bernie out again. The second we got back into his kennel:
And that was after hosing him down a bit with water. LOL, poor guy. And, bummer, he too requires a fenced yard or I really would have taken him. He seems indifferent to me (they all do - I think they sense I have more cat experience), but I adore his fat butt.
