Then there was light...

After a few tumultous times and fearing that I will get blind sooner or later, I gave up and decided to see the Optometrist. I've been postponing the trip but the unexplainable and constant headaches got me so motivated; As well, that one powerful message from that one tv ad where the eyes get shut down in some varying degrees. (Yes, I get sucked on TV ads!!! lol) I finally relented and chose to save my eyesight. I'm not young anymore to begin with. I would not want to lose my vision!

The MD said that my twitchy-eyes are due to the constant eye strain I get from working in the computer. My left eye was working double time so my right eye was compensating - thus, the constant headaches. While I used to wear glasses, I felt that I am ok even without it. So yes, stubborn moi had to listen to the expert - and get my eyes 'fixed'. And fixed it was! I was prescribed a multifocal (wahhhhhhh) and it's a good thing that the optical shop had 50% sale on lenses - I chose to go progressive and got everything I needed for my eyes but still look stylish! lol (I know, am such a girl!!) So now, I sport a new spectacles. :) Thanks to Donna Karan's espresso metal glasses, I can see better now.

I have no idea how I got to your blog, but I've had my dkny frames for 2 years now and they're pretty sturdy. From Lenscrafters, yes? (Not plugging btw.) ;D

I should follow suit and get myself new glasses. Our dog Monster chewed my last pair.
