One thing I am was proud of was that my vision is was still clear. I have never worn glasses in my whole existence. Never felt any need to because I still see clearly. I can still read small fonts, I can read texts from far away. But recently, well - after the new year, well - my vision has been a bit blurred. Not very very blurred - but just a bit.
And it bothers me. Really bothers me.
I used to put whatever I needed to read near my eyes to be able to see them more clearly (if the font is mall) but now - I have to put it at a distance for me to see it better. What used to be a normal sized font for me to read, is now shadow-y. Those number countdowns on stoplight? Blurry.
I can't believe this is happening.
I was told that when I hit 40, my vision will for sure be not the same. In my head I was laughing at the thought. I am NOT laughing now.
So I went to #OwndaysPH - to try and have my eyes checked. The reason why I went there - it was very well lit. And I loooooove very well lit places. Hahaha! I was impressed with the equipment they were using - also the service. I sat down in front of a machine to check (a more or less check) of my eye sight, and then when I transferred into the refraction room, I expected to see what I usually saw in the malls - the chair with pieces of lenses on the side! But what greeted me was a machine, a table and a sort of display. I sat down - and my goodness, it was so high-tech. No need for me to do anything but sit, listen to the questions and answer as accurate as possible. I swear, it was such a pleasant pleasant experience for me.
The doctor that was assisting me was very very calm and patient. He was very accommodating too and his voice, I must say - very soothing and re-assuring. He was asking questions and patiently doing the changing of the lenses. I just need to emphasis - that the eyesight check experience in #OwndaysPH - really impressive and really really high tech. Even Kailee was so curious on what was happening and what I was seeing. Hahaha!!
So the verdict? Well, according to the *test* I had astigmatism and needed reading glasses. They recommended a dual lens but it was still up to me if I wanted one. I told them that my only issue was the reading thing and that I didn't need to wear glasses all day to function.
I am turning 39 in a couple of days, so I guess this is age-ing telling me that I'm not getting any younger. Well, I've long accepted age-ing, but one thing I have a hard time accepting is - blurring vision.
I'm still in denial.
My Panget has offered to get me glasses, he would always tease me whenever we're at the mall. But I told him - I'm still in denial.
I might need to though, get glasses. As I have this headaches - not massive ones, but small one - that I've honestly never experienced before.
So this is age-ing, huh??
