Bad eye's

Last week I went for an eye exam.

Things for me just haven't looked right or should I say felt right for many, many years. I knew I needed to get them looked at. What I found out was that I had 15/20 vision (thats better then normal) but I also have astigmatism . An astigmatism is where your eyes are shaped more like a football rather than a basketball and that causes the eye to let in too much light causing all the problems that I've had with my eyesight. With my new glasses it should fix things.

By the way don't get your eyes dilated if you have my condition because you're in for a hard painful 4 to 5 hours ahead of you.


Pay close attention to my pupils


Before dilation notice they are rather large even with light shining at them.

After dilation

Now imagine you have my problem with to much light coming into your eyes causing them to be sensitive to light, then get them dilated.... even on an over cast day like we had, it's like looking directly at the sun at high noon!
ooouch my eyes hurt and I cant see!!!

Hikid, sounds like you have the same problem I have with mine. I first noticed my eyes hurting, like someone had rubbed them with sandpaper, lightly. And the sun was just such a bad thing, and gave me eye pain whenever I was directly in it. The glasses did the trick, but took some getting used too. everything seemed a little out of place at first, but just keep wearing them, you'll adjust, and no it wont be the wrong prescription. ha.mom
