Jeepers Peepers!

I had off yesterday and I did not just sit in the house and eat S'more Please! (see below) trying to recover from the rough start to the new year - Okay, that is what I did for the majority of the day, but I did also venture out to get my eyes checked...

And it was worse than I thought. I knew my eyes were B-A-D, but when I could barely make out the top row of the eye chart with my contacts in, I knew my eyes were ridiculous! I couldn't even make out the whole row - my Eye Dr. kindly pointed out that I only got 2 out of 4. Of all the tests I have taken, I never thought I would fail an eye exam!

Things didn't get any better when he told me that I have astigmatisms in both eyes - something that I have never had before. So, instead of having beautiful round eyeballs, I have football shaped ones (or rugby ball shaped as I like to refer to them - I think it sounds better). He said they were "pretty good ones", whatever that means.

Now I have toric lenses. They are weighted and kinda hard to get used to. I have to go back in next week for a follow up to my fitting. I'll keep you updated.


Can you see it? Can you see the astigmatism?

    Don't they say carrots are good for your eyes? You should eat more of those!

    Ah yes, I believe that I can just begin to make out that rugby ball in there.
