Eye Doctor Appointment

Well it has been about 13 years since I have been to the eye doctor. Recently I started going home with intense headaches after work. I thought it was stress or eye strain. Melody convinced me to go to the eye doctor but honestly anyone who is a doctor freaks me out (Sorry for anyone reading this that are docs). Thats just me though. I dont like hospitals, Doctors, Dentists or Optometrists.

I get to my appointment and the doctor starts the exam and im doing pretty well. He then puts this yellow dye like stuff in my eye to check the pressure of my eye or something. This stuff honestly felt like super glue. After that I look through the classic gizmo that has all the lens in it and then the exam is over.

As I am sitting there the doctor looks at me a says and this is no joke...Justin....You have perfect vision.....But you need glasses. The look on my face was probably priceless. I couldnt gather in my mind how I had perfect vision but still needed glasses.

The Doc then proceeded to tell me that one of my eyes focuses better than the other and it is a constant struggle with my brain to figure out which one will do the work. That was why I was getting my headaches. He then tells me I simply need a pair of what he referred to as computer glasses. I only have to wear them when I am at work starring at the computer screen all day.

Melody and I joked about it a day earlier as I made the comment what if he tells me I have 20-20 vision. We laughed and Mel said that was not possible.

When I told her my prescription she told me she didnt even think they made glasses in that low of a prescirption laughing the whole time of course.

Hopefully this relieves the massive headaches I get everyday.
