On the flip side though, I do have a prayer request. I have to go back in a few weeks for more testing. The doctor said that my reading for glaucoma is up a little bit. In other words, I could have glaucoma. I really don't want glaucoma (well, no one wants it) but I honestly feel I'm just too young to have to deal with eye drops, medicines etc. So...I ask for your prayers - that when the testing is done, that they find nothing wrong with my eyes. Thanks so much!!!

OK, I admit it, I'm old!
I went to the eye doctor today for a routine exam. I have had the same eye glasses prescription since high school - over 27 years ago! So, I guess it was time that I had a change. The unfortunate part, is not that my vision is that bad...my right eye is actually 20/20, and my left eye is 25/20. It's that I have a real bad astigmatism in both eyes. Give me time and my eyes focus on things pretty well, but time is not on my side, so to read or
see clearly, I need to focus quickly. So, my loving doctor said to me "happy birthday, here's your prescription for bifocals". (My birthday was a few weeks ago). So, does that make me OLD? It's not that big of a deal I suppose...many people have them, but hearing that I needed bifocals brought back memories of Grandma. Eek!!!

I just started having to wear glasses permanently. It's definitely something to get used to! They're so trendy now though!
It doesn't make you old at all. I'm 33 and have had problems with my eyes my whole life!
Will be praying about the glaucome issue!
