The eye exam

Postby Pastor Gary » June 13th, 2008, 7:15 pm

I have been feeling for a while that I needed to get my eyes checked... seemed like things just didn't quite look as good as I thought they should.

Today was the eye exam, and the Doctor asked me if I had been straining to read, focus, etc. When I told him "yes, indeed" he said "That's because your eyesight has improved since your last eye exam, and these glasses are probably doing more harm than good!"

I was shocked. Even my astigmatism is improved. New glasses have been ordered. :lol:

How cool.

When I wore glasses, I was 20/475. By the grace of Lasik, I am now 20/15.
Let the wild rumpus start!

In the last three years, each time I go in to have my yearly exam, my eye sight has improved and I've worn glasses or contacts since 6th grade! It's weird and cool!

Awesome.

Not wanting to be negative.. but my wife stated as I showed this to be sure to have your sugar checked. She heard at her last eye appointment that was a warning sign of diabetes onset .. the getting better or worse in a short period of time.

Believe me, with my recent heart procedure, they have checked my blood for everything imaginable --- cholesterol, sugar, and everything else. Not diabetic, but have the genetic propensity. And the last eye exam was almost seven years ago, so I am not sure how sudden the change has really been -- could have been YEARS coming! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I've heard that too, but no diabetes here, been checked. But it is good information to know.
