Thread: Eye doctor.

  1. #1

    Default Eye doctor.

    I'm sitting here in the eye doctor office and it dawned on me.... The last exam I has was the stupid informal ones in elementary school. This could suck. It all stemmed from not being able to focus on the front sight of my handguns.

    Not gonna lie, I'm a little nervous.

    This is the end of my diary post. Sorry to bore you all.

    I have been avoiding this for a few years now. Last one I had was when I ETS in 1987. I wear cheaters for computer work and reading, I'm still mostly OK with handguns as long as the front sight is white, dark front post rifle sights are a blur.

    I bet it won't suck too bad. Odds are, you'll get a pair of glasses or contacts, and all will be right with the world. Keep us updated!

    I started going 7 years ago.. I noticed that I couldn't read signs at night from the glare. I barely have a prescription on my lenses but the Anti-Glare coating is awesome!

    I noticed I couldn't read the specials board at the bar. Was not the beer causing the problem. Went to the eye doc for the 1st time in 20 yrs. left eye was all out of whack. Right eye is perfect. So I wear 1 contact lense. Wanted to wear a monocle like Mr. Peanut, but figured i would just lose it. Lol.

    Several years a go I went because I couldn't focus on the reticule in my scopes. I thought I would simple get glasses to wear while shooting or contacts. Turns out I have Keratoconus, it is a degenerative disease of the cornea. I have to wear both a soft and hard contact in one eye.

    I hope your appointment turns out better.

    My eyes are violated so if this makes no sense I'm sorry. I need glasses. Worst case scenario for me. I don't want glasses.

    I'm 28 and I have glaucoma. No it's not so I can smoke weed, I take prescription eye drops to lower my eye pressure. And I get to keep my corporate job too!

    I don't wanna sound like a dick. I feel bad for making such a big deal out of glasses. Aside from needing that my eyes are fine. For which I am thankful.

    I opted for contacts. I'm not looking forward to that at all.

    I'm going to make an appointment with a LASIK doctor as soon as I can.

    Glad it's nothing catastrophic. Get LASIK. You'll be glad you did.
