I went back to the eye doctor after work today. Ever since he cut back my eye exercises, I’ve been progressively getting worse, and it was getting to the point where I was starting have problems every day, so it was time. He did my exam, and agreed that things have really regressed. I think it surprised him how fast that went. Go me for being efficient, even in my deficiencies, right.
So, his recommendation: BIFOCALS! BIFOCALS!!!!!!!!! What!! BIFOCALS??!!!!! Man, I just KNEW that turning 30 was going to be a bad idea! LASIK is out of the question – it will make things worse, contacts aren’t going to work at all because they’re too close to the eye, and regular glasses just aren’t the answer. Good Lord, what is left?
Then, just as I was getting ready to go into the office to hear this news, David called me. He had a dentist appointment this afternoon. He needs three fillings. THREE FILLINGS! We do not need children, people. We are completely expensive enough on our own.
I don’t know if maybe I was just feeling old or what, but as I was picking out frames for my BIFOCALS, I was looking in the mirror and realized that my forehead wrinkle is much more prominent than I had realized. Mind you, now, this wrinkle observation was without any eyeball correction. What will I find with my glasses? Maybe we are better off not knowing.

Oh I like the new layout. I do not like the bifocals! You still look as young as ever!

They do have disposible bifocal contacts now – my dad started using them a couple years ago. Before that, he was doing the monovision thing with contacts – YUCK.
