OK, so I can’t go around quoting that[1] just yet, but I’ll be able to soon: I just got back from my first eye exam in 10? 12? more? years. My eyes are “very healthy.” That’s a relief. Lately, I’ve been getting a lot of validation that my lifestyle, habits, and/or genes are generally healthy. After a minimum of ten years of having any kind of health, dental, or eye exams, it’s good to know, and quite interesting.
Anyway, back to the eye exam. My eyes are 20/30. I’m slightly nearsighted. The numbers on my prescription are -1.00/-0.75; “sph” cylinder. I have no idea what that means. I’m looking at some hip-but-not-overstated, black, rectangular-ish frames that work well with hats and bike helmets. Anti-reflective, polycarbonate lenses are recommended. That’s gonna run me about fo’ hunny[2]. Damn! Is that a reasonable price for glasses? I don’t have a clue.
In my last post about this, I thought glasses might help my eyestrain and headaches while sitting at the computer. The doctor mostly disagreed. She said the anti-reflective coating might help, but mainly I need to take more breaks and make sure my workstation ergonomics are all good. Tension in the back and neck can cause headaches and what feels like eyestrain. Who knew?
Here’s the general style I’m looking at:
