Eye to Eye


The best thing about going to the eye doctor is that you don't have to WEIGH in. No recording in your medical records about that dreaded three-digit number filed away for a whole year until the next time you go in for a check-up.  Because the back of my eyes are not shaped like "normal" eyes, my yearly check-up constitutes additional testing to rule out glaucoma and other diseases. This year another test was run totalying three different machines in three different rooms. And the technician lost my file twice! Comparing today's tests and photos against previous years showed a slight improvement.


The machine for the peripheral vision test.


Finally got the vision test. I will need to get new lenses.
