I got my dreaded eye exam today. I freak out a little bit when I know I have to go visit the optometrist. It's because I have a fear that I am going to go completely blind someday soon.
I am already legally blind, and am probably as blind as a bat. No joke. My eye prescription is about 7.5 on my left eye, and 8.5 on my right. Oh my dear goodness gracious hot dang marshmallows. It shows no sign of stopping anytime soon.
I've had glasses since I was in 4th grade, and it has be steadily getting worse every year. I have recently developed an astigmatism, and it makes it really hard for me to see.
The good news is that my left eye didn't change this year (and has actually gotten a little better), but the astigmatism on my right eye is getting worse and worse. Although my eyes only got worse by a tiny fraction, I fear that it will never stop getting worse. Blindness is in my future!
I also have extremely dry eyes, so it makes wearing contacts really hard for me at times. It irks me that my brother has perfect vision. It's probably the jealously talking.
Time to save up for laser eye surgery! I can't wait until I have 20/20 vision again. I don't remember what it was like to not have to wear glasses or contacts!
