Eye Appointment

Hello....we had our ONE day of spring on Wednesday....lol...It was beautiful...today is back to cool and cloudy...lol  I thought I heard the "S" word on the weather report....sure don't need that!


Had my yearly eye appointment today...Have been having a few concerns...I had lasix about 3 years ago...now this year I have noticed  little double vision ...so thought it would be good to bring it up...Well they checked and rechecked...and it could be something with the lasix...I have the mono vision...one eye is for near and one for far....and I may need an 'enhancement' to adjust the degree of difference...and then they were talking about one eye 'drifting'(Muscles of the eye?) soooo have to go back in a month to see a specialist in the field of eye placement...to have it checked out....the doctor didn't seem real concerned but thought it should be investigated a bit...so that is what I will do...The rest of my exam went well....no glacoma, no macular degeneration, eye looks healthy so all in all a good visit.  But they dialate the eyes and man oh man any and all light makes me squint...So couldn't read or do the computer...had a headache most of the day....Finally can see decent again so I am on the computer....lol....


Hugs

I need to do that as well, it has been a couple years or maybe even longer than that, and I know my glasses are not strong enough any more.

Hi Rj


Well hope they can fix the double vision and get things adjusted so you can see much better again. Hope the problem with the muscle is nothing to worry about.


I need to get my eyes check again this fall.


Love ya
