My vision is probably worse than anyone you know.  If I didn’t have my glasses or contacts on, I would have to put my face probably about 3 inches from whatever I’m looking at.  I kid you not, inches.  I wouldn’t be able to identify faces, heck I probably wouldn’t even know a person was there.  Blobs of colors.

I’ve only discovered one semi good thing about having blurry vision.  Although, its not entirely good if you think about the basis of it.

I went to the optometrist today and of course my eyes got worse.  Every person that looked at my chart (2 helpers and the doc) all remarked about my intense prescription.  Turns out I need to go back to the gas permeable lenses.  The soft ones just aren’t cutting it.  The only good thing about the soft ones were that they were more comfortable and cheaper.  However, the clarity of my vision is greatly lowered when using soft lenses.  Anyway, I need the gas perm ones because I need them to press down on my cornea and shape it.  Gas perm lenses aren’t cheap.  As they were about to damage my wallet, the guy decided that he should call the insurance company because he thought that maybe my prescription was bad enough to deem it a “medical necessity” for contacts.  Wow that’s intense.  What do you know?!  It is.  It is a medical necessity that I have contacts so the insurance is paying for ALL of it.  Normally they would only cover $100.  So I ended up saying a few hundred dollars!!  Woo hoo!  That’s the only good thing.  Though its actually kind of a good and bad thing.  Good cause I got a great deal.  Bad because its a “medical necessity” isn’t very good.

It also turns out that my glasses suck!  I always thought they were clearer than my contacts.  Little did I know, if I covered up my right eye, the left eye is completely blurry!!!  I’m straining to use only my right eye because frankly the left one is useless.  Maybe that’s why its getting worse.

Since I got such a great deal on my contacts.  Maybe I should fork out the ridiculous $400 or so to get glasses.  Yeah $400 – that’s the minimum.  The guy asked if I was going to Asia anytime soon.  He told me they could make the lens thinner than they could here and for cheaper.  Dang, but maybe $400 is worth helping my vision.

I’m secretly wondering if I’m going to go blind in my left eye.
