went for my annual eye exam, and while I was waiting, saw a former work colleague…

had a lovely catch-up…

I went through the gamut of tests and then got to spend time with my doctor… I’ve been going to him for ten years and they’ve been gathering data on my eyes over all that time… I don’t mind waiting, because when he is with me, there is no rushing through the explanations and all questions are answered…

eyes are in good shape and I learned a new way to clean my glasses while I was there…

will give it a try and see if it makes cleaning them simpler;-)…

blepharitis, chronic, cleaning pads, eye doctor

so, when I was at the eye doctor yesterday he mentioned that blepharitis is a chronic condition…

don’t remember hearing that before… maybe someone told me and I blocked it…

we went over the steps to help keep it under control and rather than take a brochure I took this photo…

good news was that I was able to pick up the eye cleaning pads that I’d been looking for…

now I have to follow a new process every day to ensure the flare-ups don’t happen… but, at least I can do something about it…

big girl pants, eye doctor, pristine snow, seeing

had to rush home after work, jump in the car and head off to an appointment with a new eye doctor … those darn big girl pants…

I had decided to change my eye doctor after my last visit when my eye prescription wasn’t done correctly and was only caught when my contact lens person realized that something was missing…

this young man is quite wonderful… the office had all the newest equipment, as well as some that was likely close to a hundred years old… he knew his stuff and explained as he went including things that I should have known before, but hadn’t…

I’ve been having some trouble with my eyes since sometime in December and had gone to see my GP, who referred me to a specialist, who has prescribed pills and ointment for my eye… the infection still hasn’t cleared up and my vision seems to have gotten a bit worse so I was a bit worried about it all…

much as I had thought, it appears that the ointment is causing the blurring that I’ve been experiencing so that was good news… as well as the news that my eyes are in very good condition… yay…

when I was about 9 or so I got my first pair of glasses… I can remember walking out of the shop and seeing leaves on the trees… before that, they had been a mass of green…

I haven’t been able to wear my contacts for the last few months but am looking forward to being able to use them once the infection is gone, although it has been stubborn…

sometimes it is easy to forget the little things that make our life easy… such as glasses and good eyesight…

taken with my iPhone shows how deep the snow is...

taken with my iPhone in the evening – shows how deep the snow was…

made me think about my recent afternoon with the boys and how they changed the pristine snow covered landscape in the backyard to a very lived in space…

seeing is a wonderful thing…
