The optometrist appointment was a success. It turns out that I can still read the letters on the board at 20/20 so he told me I have nothing to worry about. It turns out that I used to have Superman vision (as he called it) after the surgery years ago.
That being said, he did give me a very light prescription in case I wanted to wear glasses while driving. Other than that, he said I have normal vision and shouldn’t be worried about it. He did recommend that I start coming in every two years for a checkup rather than waiting the eight years I did before. 😉
I’m stoked that there is nothing overly wrong with my eyesight but at the same time, it is odd that my eyesight has fallen from Superman proportions to normal Clark Kent vision. The surgeons did say that over time, my eyesight would get worse with age which is something they can’t prevent. But it’s strange to think that my eyes would degrade in an eight year span when I am still fairly young.
Either way, this is the body that I’ve been given and I’m glad that I still have 20/20 vision and I’ll start looking for a pair of glasses. I believe Dad once said I can get a really cheap pair at the Pharmacy instead of buying some at the optometrist.
In other news, I think I have sworn off fish and chips for awhile. I went to the Aulde Dubliner for Trish’s birthday dinner and I felt extremely full after the fish and chips last night. It probably didn’t help that there were some nachos at the table beforehand. But I really am not impressed with the fish and chips at any establishment lately…I prefer my fish in one giant chunk…as in, no batter. Nowadays, it seems like there is 80% batter and 20% fish. Ah well. Perhaps I will stick with the wrap next time.
