eyes

Today I had my eyes examined. They still suck. Oh well. At least I got a new pair of glasses out of the deal. Of course, not for free. Not for very cheap either. Don't tell my husband.

The optometrist decided it would be a good idea to dilate my eyes to check for any issues, considering the family history of macular degeneration and glaucoma. No problems, but the whole dilation thing is a bitch. Especially when you're trying to pick out a new pair of frames. It's even better when you decide to go shopping at Trader Joe's afterwards. Driving there is excruciating and everyone thinks you're a snot because you're grocery shopping while wearing your sunglasses.

OMG! I can't stand to have my eyes dilated. It feels like knives thrusting into my eyeballs. I won't let the eye dr. do that anymore. He said I must be allergic to the drops. Ya Think!

P.S. Just a thought, but I don't think you are supposed to drive after you get your eyes dilated!
