Four Eyes

By the end of this month you may be able to add Four Eyes to my list of nicknames.

I broke down today and called to make an appointment with an optometrist. A few weekends ago when my sister and I were in Dayton because of my grandpa we were trying to find one of my sisters banks. Her bank uses Green signs and I saw a sign that had green on it like her bank but I couldn't make out the words on it. I made a comment to my sister about how I couldn't tell what it said. We were fairly far away so I didn't think anything about not being able to see it but then Steph said she could read the sign. It used to be that I could see better than her even when she had her contacts in so this was a little alarming for me.

I started to think about it and realized that things that I used to be able to see I can't as well anymore like street signs and reports on my computer.

This week I have had to spend allot of hours reviewing reports and I've found myself squinting to see the words clearly which is something I have never had to do before. Once I realized this I started zooming in to enlarge the reports but the system we have makes it a pain in the butt to do this so I still spent allot of time squinting. Of course this has made my eyes and head hurt.

This afternoon I had finally had enough and I got on my benefits site and found an in-network doctor just down the street from me. I have an appointment on the 31st so we will see what is going on with my eyes.
