Four eyes

I haven't had my eyes checked for a very long time.

Since the school nurse checked them in 6th grade, to be exact.

Never been to an eye doctor. Ever.

So, at my doctor's urging (insert groan) I went.

Just an eye exam, make sure my eyes are healthy.

I have always had 20/20 vision. (according to....my school nurse?)
Nearly 3 hours.
Too many decisions.  Which looks better #1 or #2..#1 or #2....holy crap.
Overwhelming.
Eye drops. Eyes dialated. OUCH!!!
Some bad news, something about deposits on my macular (??)
You need to see a "retina specialist". Seriously. Who knew they existed.
I never heard a kid in my class say: I wanna be a RETINA SPECIALIST when I grow up....
Good grief.
End of eye exam, read the eye chart thru clear lenses....uh, seriously?
Flips a prescription in the lenses:  V T D F 0!! Woo Hoo!! Amazing!
Fast forward a few days, pick out new frames. (vogue frames, very cute I might add...)
Anti-reflective coating for driving (esp at night) Driving is the worst for me.
Put them on, no big difference. Wth?
Driving home.....I can read the exit sign from billions of miles away!! (slight exagerration)
Look above my glasses, thru my glasses, above my glasses, thru my glasses.....
WOO HOO!!! These suckers are AWESOME!!
They just made my 20/20 vision even better!!
She said something about nearsighted, asthigmatism, not seeing distance...blah blah blah...
So using them for distance, NOW I see a HUGE difference!

My son (who has had glasses since he was a baby): Mom, aren't you afraid your friends at work will make fun of you?

Nope. Don't care. Feel sorry for the people that don't have this new sight I have.

Call me four eyes, old, whatever you want....I don't care.
 My new, improved sight is the BOMB I tell ya....
