in April I tried to get in to see my eye doctor at Armstrong and Small… I hadn’t been since 2019 and had noticed that my vision was not what it used to be… knew that I would need new glasses…

I was able to get an appointment for the beginning of June and was in the office for over two hours… my eyes were fine, but there was quite a bit of conversation about getting new glasses between my optometrist and the optician helping me with the glasses…

they ordered some frames and I went back about a week later to try them on… they looked good so we moved forward with ordering them…

I have nearly always had glass lenses, but they are nearly impossible to get now… after much discussion, plastic lenses, made in Canada, were ordered and would likely take about three weeks to arrive…

my current lenses have a slub on the right side… the purpose was to help my eyes focus as the prescription in the eyes is so different… we are going to try something else this time, so will see how it goes…

on Tuesday I got a call that the glasses were in and scheduled an appointment for Wednesday…

went in, had them adjusted, tested the magnetic sunglasses clip, and brought them home… loving the purple case, lol…

I am getting used to them and can see better, which is the most important thing;-)…

eyes…

big girl pants, blepharitis, eyes, mask, optometrist, routine

this morning I was able to get in to see my optometrist…

  
I’ve been using ointment for weeks trying to get rid of a persistent hordeolum on my upper eyelid… besides looking bad, sometimes it is also painful…

for a couple of years I have been using eyelid cleaning pads every day to be sure my eyelids stay clean and healthy… really have to be on top of blepharitis so it doesn’t recur… 

now we are adding something else to the regime… at least once a week I am supposed to use a heated mask over a damp facecloth for ten minutes…

here’s the mask I will be using which I had to buy today…

 
great that there are all these products to help deal with this ongoing problem…

always something, lol…
