The last time I went to the optometrist, I got two pairs of glasses: one for distance and driving, and one for reading and computers. I got used to wearing the reading glasses full time since it was more convenient. For some reason, I dug up the distance glasses this morning and wore them to drive to dialysis. Of course I forgot to change back so I’m sitting in the dialysis chair and I can’t reading anything up close or in my lap.
One of the fears of being diabetic is losing your sight through diabetic retinopathy. It’s one of the leading causes of blindness in American adults. I’ve been seeing the same ophthalmologist for the past 5-6 years so since my diabetes is pretty well controlled, my eyes are doing okay.
