Aug. 16th, 2011 11:38 pmI've been nearsighted since junior high school. My eyes got progressively worse straight through college, finally stabilizing sometime in my twenties. While I am not epically nearsighted like some of my friends and family, I flat cannot function without my glasses.
I've started getting mild, but daily, eyestrain headaches. And I can't do close work while wearing my glasses. So, I trotted myself off to the eye doctor to update my prescription for my deteriorating eyes. From the verbal interview, she thought it might be time to introduce me to bifocals.
Nope. Turns out my prescription is too strong. In the last year, my eyes corrected a half diopter. Both eyes used to require at least 5 diopter corrections. Now, the weaker one only requires a 4.
I'm still nearsighted, and I still can't function without my glasses, but it is kinda nice to not be quite so nearsighted.
