THE EYES HAVE IT

So I got through my eye exam today with a 'no change' prescription. No cataract growth.

No 'other stuff' which I don't think about as it is too painful to consider.

Can you spell macular degeneration?

A clean bill of health.

I go to an opthalmologist because I don't trust optometrists. I have had three bad experiences. Once, an eye infection. Twice, a missed prescription. Third time, selling glasses. Hype.

Come to think of it though, I had an opthalmologist make the wrong prescription once also and my optometrist caught it. At the time, I was only using him for an optician.

The outfit here is so determined and serious. They are very very careful.

I got to them on the second bounce.

The first guys I went to (a neighbor at the time) made me wait in an exam room for too long. I went out in the hall and collared the Doc. Made a scene. They don't like scenes in opthalmologists' offices.

Or any medical office. Try it some time. I once had a dentist by the collar who had made me sit while he and his staff had an audible 20 minute coffee and donut session out behind the partitions.

20 minutes is the limit for me. Anywhere. Anytime. Period.

That is why I take 'first thing in the morning appointments.

I had my eye drops in so I skipped the bike ride after I got home.

It was a good day.

One impending item taken care of.
