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;-)…

I’ve worn contact lenses off and on for 40 years although for the last few years I haven’t worn any, as I’ve had a bit of trouble with my eyesight and some infections in my eyes…

have gone through a period where I didn’t see as well with the contacts in, so there wasn’t much sense in wearing them…

got a new prescription a while back and the other day when I put my contacts in I realized that one was missing… couldn’t find it anywhere around the sink so just thought “I guess it’s gone”…

first time I’ve ever lost a contact like that although over the years my beloved was always there to help me if I did misplace one…

when I got home from work that night I discovered the contact sitting on the edge of the sink, all dried up… too funny…

just a few days ago I took my contacts out and put my glasses on, only to realize that I still had a contact in one of my eyes…

not sure if this is a sign of old age, or what…

where…

on Thursday I picked up my new contact lenses…

I ordered a year’s worth which is what I thought was what I had done previously, but when I saw the size of the package I realized that I had not, lol…

so now I have to figure out where to store them…

but I am absolutely thrilled with my vision…

this afternoon I headed over to Graham Avenue to get my contacts checked…

been wearing a few different test lenses for about two weeks and have been very pleased with the improvement in my vision…

with the last contacts I had, I never did get good vision for close up items and long distance wasn’t that great either… I had concluded that glasses were going to be my best option…

she experimented with a different contact and I had to wait a few minutes for it to settle onto my eye…

as I left, got this picture of one of the pop-up parks…

looking forward to the new lenses and better vision…

sadly it is back to glasses as I wait for the new ones to arrive…

this morning I took a picture of my buddies having breakfast…

still figuring out exactly how much to feed them…

must say I am happy to have them as company again…

yesterday I went for another field test… I had gone for one a few months ago but was called back because one eye didn’t do so well… thankfully both eyes did fine this time… then they took some scans of my eyes and I saw the doctor… he was pleased with all the results and said my current eye drops would still be fine… amazing what stress can be involved in something as simple as a vision exam…

this morning I also got a few pictures of the hibiscus in full bloom…

a reminder that being able to see is a wonderful thing…
