Mommy's Glasses

I realized there are no pictures of me in the last few posts.  So, to please the masses I took a picture in my new glasses. :) 

I just went to the eye doctor.  I had noticed I was getting more headaches when I wore my old glasses, and I needed to wear them more often.  The doctor found an astigmatism in my right eye and changed my prescription.  The new glasses are wonderful.  I can see so much better and no headaches.

They also did some tests because of my family history of Glaucoma and found that I have very high pressure in my eyes. The doctor, to put me at ease, told me that I have nice thick corneas.  So I guess that is good.  But my eyes were not in the normal range, so I do have early Glaucoma. I will have to go to the eye doctor religiously each year to watch it.  I am glad we found it early and can keep it in check. So, moral of this long post, is if you are a blood relative of me: GET YOUR EYES CHECKED FOR GLAUCOMA!

  1. Very cute. They remind me a little of Moms glasses, from Germany, that we would once and a while sneak out of her drawer and try on.
