One again I’m dealing with having astigmatisms. It’s an eye condition in which you need glasses or contact to help focus light to one point. I’ve had it off and one since I was 11 and had to wear glasses.
I went to the eye doctor yesterday had an appointment. She asked if I had astigmatisms before and I told her year in the past I’ve had it before and it gotten better. She said at my last appointment I had a slight one but not enough for them to start correcting it. I expressed that I’ve noticed words are starting to get a little blury around the edges. I could still tell what the words where but I probably need new lenses to make things sharper. We did the exam and she told me yes to getting astigmatisms contacts for my eyes.
I got new contacts. Things feel much better and things are clear once again.

It’s genetic so everyone in my family has glasses. My 8 year old was sad till last year because she was told her eye sight was too good. Last year shengot some reading classes. I’ve had glasses since I was 11.

Thanks. I’m still adjusting to the change. I put my glasses one at the end of the day and my eyes are like what are you doing.
