4-Eyed Monster

After months of having eye-troubles--difficulty seeing while driving at night, sensitivity to bright light--I finally went to see my Optometrist yesterday morning. He's also Rob's optometrist and is Rob's cousin Caroline's uncle (on her father's side)... I first met him at Sarah's wedding a year ago and he remembers me, which was pretty good considering we only made small talk... So, anyways, Rob kept telling me to go see him for months, but I kept pushing it back because I knew he'd prescribe me with some hideous glasses...

Well, he did a series of eye tests and dilated my pupils for a more concise exam and he diagnosed me of Astigmatism! Aparently, my right eye is near-sighted and the other one is perfect. However, he did note that I do have a 20/20 vision, which he was surprised to know after finding out that I program on computers all day! The good news is that Astigmatism (AKA near or far-sightedness) is the most common eye problem... and the even BETTER news is when he mentioned that I don't have to wear my eyeglasses all the time--only when I have trouble, such as reading at night or driving.

And perhaps the Best news is when I got my prescription and went to the eyeglass shop, which was right outside his office and saw that they have these chic eyeglasses such as Armani, Coach, BCBG to name a few. Since my pupils were still dilated, the lady at the shop adviced me to come back that afternoon. I then drove to work (which was a miracle I made it back alive... LOL)...

So, I went back after work and Rob met me there. As soon as I got there, I then saw perhaps the BEST thing that could happen to eyewear... The New Vera Wang collection! I'm glad I went back when my vision was clear... I never thought I would be saying this... but I AM SO EXCITED to be wearing glasses!!! The next time you see me, I'll be sporting these :-)
