I - Test
Earlier this week, I received a letter from Wardenburg informing me of a free eye exam, which was covered through my insurance. The last time I got my eyes checked, I required a new prescription. Walking into my exam, I had my fingers crossed, hoping that my eyes have not deteriorated since then. Shortly after the exam the doc says to me, "This is what you were wearing. Now, this is what you should be wearing."
My response was prompt, "Holy *&%$!" The doc also mentioned that my right eye is much more dominant than my left, which is usually the case between individuals, however my difference is more than the usual. I asked the doc, "If I wear an eye patch over my right eye, won't that make my left eye stronger. I mean, the left eye will get more exercise." Doc looked at me with the 'you're an idiot' expression. "Ri-ruto!"
Off I went this afternoon to purchase new glasses. I couldn't believe the prices. Apparently, I didn't pay attention to frame and lens prices that last time I made a similar purchase. $300 for lens and $199+ for frames! They're made of plastic! Unconsciously, I went to Pearl Vision on Pearl hoping to find something suitable and reasonable. Luckily, the young lady that I once became friendly with when I was working at Kanka-saurs still worked there and recognized me instantly. She hooked it up big! All said and done, it was under a thou. Eeeeekkkkk!
As usual, I won't see them for 5 days or so. In the meantime, I'm off to find a handy eye patch to start exercising the left eye. What if it becomes lazy?
