My Eyes Are Younger Than Me!
Good news following my eye exam! I guess that is something that doesn't usually happen when a person is old. I think my last exam was two years ago and the guy said I had cataracts starting. Today, I found out I have no glaucoma, no cataracts, and no macular degeneration. I told the dr. I thought my vision was better than it used to be, and she confirmed it. She wrote me a new prescription for weaker glasses. She also said my eyes "were set for the computer", so I don't need trifocals. I'm not quite sure what that means, but I have heard previously you can train your eyes to be nearsighted or farsighted by how far you focus your vision; i.e., you can make yourself nearsighted by holding a book too close when reading. I have never been able to get any glasses to work right when I am using the computer, so I have just plodded on typing and typing without glasses, and now I think I have trained my vision to be adjusted to computer work. I still need glasses to drive and to see across the room, but the new prescription is for a lower adjustment. And I have been religious about taking my nutritional supplements, which I think has played a huge role in my improvement and subsiding cataract condition. Anyway, hurray!!!!
