Just Simply Holly

I’ve worn glasses since I was in Jr High School. My first pair were your “typical” 80’s style, over sized, wire rimmed glasses. Over the years the style of glasses has changed drastically, and I have to laugh at some of the glasses that I’ve worn while I look at old pictures! My husband also wears glasses and we “try” to schedule our eye exams so that we can go together and just get it over with. One year, we weren’t able to get them scheduled at the same time, but we did go at different times on the same day. When our glasses came in a week or so later, we went together to pick them up and when we looked at each other we immediately busted out laughing because we had both chosen the same exact frames for our glasses!

My vision now is to the point that I simply can’t go without wearing my glasses, with the exception being when I am reading or at the computer. I have to take them off then because everything up close blurs when I’m wearing my glasses. I went last Saturday for my follow up exam from one that I had in July of last year. The eye doctor was concerned because of how drastically my prescription had changed in a little over a year and wanted me to come back in 6 months to see if it had changed any more. But the one girl that did the pretesting goofed up and put some drops in my eyes that made it impossible for the doctor to do the second part of the exam, so I have to go back again next week for them to do it. I’m just glad that I have health insurance that is covering these exams because if I had to pay for them myself, I’d be in debt forever! I’m just hoping that my prescription hasn’t changed so that I don’t have to get new glasses, because although the insurance is covering the exams, they won’t cover another pair of glasses until July.
