Showing posts with the label contacts

I can see

Got my new glasses today. I love the transitions although it wasn't really bright out today. Hopefully it will be bright and sunny tomorrow so I can really test them out. I was worried that they would be dark inside too but as you can see they aren't. On the contact news, I also got new contacts but I'm not really a fan of them. They feel like a big bubble on my eye. I'm going to give them a few more days to see. I was hoping for something that doesn't dry out so quickly. I currenly have Softlens 66 but they feel gummy after 4 hours. These new ones (dont know that name..I know..my bad) make my eyes crawl after 2. Someone told me to ask for Acuvue Advanced but the doctors office was out of trials. Gah! Guess they'll just have to order some..right?

Borderline

That's the word they used on my field of vision test today. Perplexed I asked if that means that I have gotten worse. After a few minutes of flipping through my chart the Doctor said, "No". WHEW! A little history here. I have high ocular pressure which puts me at risk for glaucoma . Every year I get a field of vision test and they take a picture of my optic nerve. Fun fun...really it's not a big deal if it means I don't go blind. The good news is that nothing has changed since 2001 when I first went to this doctor. So I asked why they say "borderline" and the doctor said that it means that I just have that much more of a risk of developing glaucoma but so far nothing has moved that risk in six years. In other eye news, I've ordered some new glasses with transition lenses. I'm also trying some new contacts because my other ones dry out easily. First day...they feel big on my eye. *shrug*
