I have outlasted all predictions from previous eye doctors and am still not using anything for seeing up close besides the tried and true method of dropping my glasses down my nose and peering over the top when I have to read fine print. 😜

Until now. I had to change doctors and I told him I was concerned about my eye health because since I started this job, I’ve been having blurry vision at night and my eyes just feel strained or really tired by the end of the day.

It’s never a good thing when the doctor keeps exclaiming OH WOW, OH MY GOD, WOW REALLY as he flips through the lenses while you stare at the chart. Although I appreciate his enthusiasm because it made a pleasant (but worrisome) change from the usual: which is better, one or two? Although he did all that too.

Turns out my “near vision is shot” to quote him directly, and my intermediate vision is not corrected at all by my current glasses which are only giving me far distance. He said that explains why I told him my glasses aren’t sharp or crisp, and it definitely explains the blurred vision and tiredness after work because I’m literally straining my eyes anytime I’m not looking across the street or something far away.🫩🫠

He’s a cutie (no seriously, he’s very handsome and he asked me 3 times if we’ve met before or if he knows me from somewhere??? no.) and he said he didn’t want me to hate him or think that he was calling me old…but if I really want to see as clearly and crisply as possible that it’s time to get the progressives. And since I have vision insurance at the moment, I ordered them.

Here we go again…
