I had my very first eye exam today. It was a little like this:
Seriously?! How is anyone supposed to decide between 1 and 2 when they flip the lenses back and forth so quickly? And I could tell she wanted me to say 2, but I wasn’t sure if 1 was actually clearer or or if everything still looked fuzzy from having to cover each eye with one hand during the normal E C D B A part of the test. And this “cover your left eye with your left hand bit” is practically the hardest part of the test anyway as I freeze to figure out which hand is which. (I’m always the one in Pilates class that turns to the left when the instructor says, “Stretch to the right . . . 2 . . . 3 . . . 4.”)
Thankfully in my case it didn’t really matter because it turns out I’m a bit far sighted which explains why I’m noticing that I need reading glasses earlier than I might have otherwise. The guy explained it that my eyes naturally focus further away and now that my lens is getting less flexible, I need even more space between my eyeballs and what I’m looking at than before. At least I think that’s what he said. Either way, there’s nothing technically wrong with my eyes, they’re just 40.
And for no reason other than because they are cute . . . kitty pictures!
