new eyeglasses

i went to the ophthalmologist last month. good report--much better than last year. the last report had me believing i would be having cataract surgery any day now; it caused me to postpone seeing the optometrist until the next visit, at least. why get new glasses if you're going to change your eyes so much they might not be any good?

this visit was much more positive. retinopathy has diminished slightly, and the cataract surgery can be postponed for at least another year.

so i went to the optometrist this morning. the grandboy needed a babysitter today, so i was chauffeur for the hubby before his work day. that means i just barely made it to my appointment on time. whew!

another great report! yes, i needed new glasses, but not because my vision has deteriorated. it's actually gotten better. my eyes have reverted to the state they were in four years ago! i'll take that! went straight to lenscrafters and ordered a new pair of eyeglasses and new lenses for my sunglasses.  the eyeglasses i have already (took just an hour, like they advertise) and the sunglasses will be ready in the morning (they had to do them twice - the first set had something wrong with the surface).

i guess i'm feeling pretty smug at the moment. not everyone gets to say their eyes are getting younger. ;-)
