Today I went back to my eye doctor for a complete and extensive examination. First of all, I was not really surprised when the good looking medical assistant that I smiled at last week, ended up being the assistant who called me in for the exam. There seemed to be a few sparks, but once he got a look at me close-up, I am sure his curiousity was satisfied.
As for the appointment, I got home from the doctor's appointment almost three hours ago; and I still can't wrap my head around the news the doctor gave me. He was very alarmed when I was there for my glaucoma check last week and wanted me tested completely - sooner rather than later. He had noticed that my vision with my glasses was drastically off from the last exam.
What he found out after all of his tests is that after wearing glasses for almost all of the last thirty years; my eyesight has totally corrected itself to 20 / 20. He told me not to bother wearing my glasses any longer and he suggested I head over to the DMV to have my driver's license changed to reflect that I don't need corrective lenses. He gave me a new prescription for basically a pair of cheaters (due to all newspapers and books shrinking the size of their font). He said that they would be for bifocals, but that the upper portion would be basically clear glass. He also suggested that I not waste my money getting a new pair of glasses.
