What I See

Alright, before I forget, I said yesterday that I'd write about my eyesight for tonight's post. So, here it is. . . 

(Also, have some sleeping moose).

As long as I can remember, I have had poor eyesight. As a kid, I was cross-eyed, and I have always worn (or, at least supposed to have worn) glasses. All of elementary school, I wore these enormous glasses, and though I hated them at the time, I'm back to the same style now. . . 

I tried wearing contacts when I was in 8th grade, but I couldn't get used to having to touch my eyeballs. That, and my eyes dried out quickly, especially when we moved to the desert. I tired different styles of glasses, big, small, round, square. . . Nothing really seems to fit my face, so I chose the biggest ones I can because. . . Well. . . F it.

I don't know how or why, but sometime during my high school years, we (me and my family) learned/realized that I had a blind spot in my left eye. Here is a very crude drawing of where the blind spot is. . . 

Now, this explained a whole lot when it comes to my inability to read the lines at the optometrist's office. Luckily, my peripheral vision is damn near perfect, so, I've at least got that. I've always been horrifically dyslexic, and I've never been a huge fan on reading (with the exception being manga, which are more than just lines of text, therefore, easier on my eyes). 

As the years went my and the time I spent I front of some kind of screen increased by. . . a lot. . . my eyes became a lot more sensitive to certain types of light. For example, I hate florescent lighting because it actually hurts to be in for a short period of time. Sometimes it hurts my eyes to go outside even. . . So, my best solution was to get tinted glasses, and I did. I currently wear a pair of (not nearly strong enough) glasses with a fading blue tint on them. They are exactly what I need and I would only change them if I could get the gradient of blue to be a little stronger (and the prescription).

Alright, short summary of why my eyes are bad, check.

Oh, and I just found where I misplaced them, so I can see again *throws confetti* and that is good enough for me.

Bye now

More sleeping moose.
