First assessment...

I'm finally starting to make blogging a full time routine, and the fact that S.S is finally openly expressing the advantage of the blog is encouraging.... enough so to make me blog again :)

So today I went to my optometrist and was told what i already knew... that my eyes were worse than the last time I went. She also chatised me because i didn't come sooner (suppose to go every year) and that I waited until I lost my glasses to go. So after hearing the bad news and getting my perscription, I went to a eyewear store. After talking to the retailer, I found out that I had a trade of to make. If I get glasses, then I will loose peripheral vision. If I get contacts, I loose some clarity since my right eye has stigmatism (either my eye isn't a perfect circle or there is miss allignment with the horizontal and vertical planes in my retina, probably the former). So now its down to what's more important, periferal vision or clarity.

I decided that I should at least have a pair of glasses since they'll last me longer, and then get contacts when I have enough money for them. So while I was looking around another store for frames, I talked to my uncle (who's living with me for the past month and will continue to for the next five) and he said he knew a good store back in Malvern Mall. Unfortunately, time ran out for us to go there, so now I have to wait till Monday. I was thinking and I like the way frameless glasses look on me, so I might consider getting those.

The real reason were going to Malvern is because the people at that store are really good at matching frames to people. The pair my uncle has look very good on him and you can't notice the glasses at all, which is important.... Supposedly. I think its a good idea since I can't exactly see myself clearly in the first place to pick a good pair of glasses.

So again, I write this up with my left eye closed and my right eye squinting... But not as often....
