Eye Appointment

My vision all of a sudden got blurry several days ago. I'm having to borrow my husband's reading glasses.

So, I thought I should see an Optomitrist and get my eyes checked (I've also had pressure behind my eyes, so was concerned)

Today, I had the appointment. I had the drops in the eyes - I was checked for glaucoma and my vision as well. So, I need reading glasses now - 1.25 prescription...but the good news is my long-distance vision has improved...I don't need to wear glasses when driving anymore (I had suspected this, as I stopped wearing them a while ago as it didn't seem like I needed them anymore).

I told the Dr. about lyme disease, so she wanted to do tests to establish a baseline...so we'd know if something suddenly changed. Everything was good - no inflammation. She wants me to have a Field test done (I think that's what it's called.) It will check the optic nerve - she said it will show if there is any inflammation. I have to make another appointment for that test - in another city.

She said lyme disease is something that is on their 'radar' - when they see eye problems. I was happy she knew about Lyme disease and the possibility of it affecting the optic nerve.

I'm okay with reading glasses - I have actually been sneaking my hubby's now and then for the small print of the supplement bottles...
I'm gettin' to that age, ya know!

I was just happy that she was 'on board' and didn't shrug off the lyme disease diagnosis...she was 'on it' and wanted to make sure that we had a baseline at this point...and also check for inflammation...
It gives me a sense of security when the Docs are 'believers'.
