Eye C U
Before getting my new glasses I resigned to get my eyes checked and found that I'm not going blind, but I do have a prescription that is far too strong. The cool part was the apparatus the doctor used to determine this as he had me look at two eye charts, one in red and one in green. If the green was in sharper/bolder focus it meant I was overcorrected, and the red meant I was undercorrected. A clever trick with light wavelengths :) What a relief since I thought I would have to get bifocals and had visions of going blind like a fellow sysadmin did in the last few years. I was given a magnet with the above design and recommend that if it has been 2 years or more [ 3.5 in my case ] since your last exam, find a good doctor and go get them checked as your vision doesn't improve with age any more than your soft tissue body parts get firmer.
