would complain more about the glasses situation, but nobody cares (and justly so).

'tis all because of my stupidity and my inability to accurately take an eye exam.

If you want to complain then go ahead. It is YOUR journal after all.

Did they take a digital exam?

Most places have a machine that reads your eyes and they just use the manual exam to confirm the results so if they didn't have any questions I'm sure your RX is fine. My son with special needs is all over the place when he takes his exam, answers wrong, doesn't look at the right spots etc but they always get his RX in the end.

Just give them some time, but complain all you want in the meantime.

don't know of any sort of digital exam to determine visual acuity. There were a couple digital scans that they did to determine the health of the eye (looking for cataracts and the like), and the doc said all that was fine.

I suppose the glasses do help with seeing stuff at a distance, but they fuck up my close vision, my peripheral vision, and create a bunch of blind spots. Plus I can't even walk right with them.

Just seems to me that the disadvantages outweigh the advantages, especially since I was able to cope just fine without them.

I think I might just take the glasses along for the eye exam part of renewing my drivers license (well, should probably attempt the vision test w/o glasses and see if I can pass, then go with the glasses if I can't cut it with the naked eyes. since taking the test with glasses would put a restriction on my license)

I get by on my test without glasses but I wear them everyday! Even though I can function with them I know I shouldn't.

You will get use to them. I got glasses in highschool and vividly remember bumping into things and tripping up the stair. Believe there is no way in hell to fail an eye appt.

The human body is an amazing thing and can adapt. For Christmas I would like to bestow on you a big ass bag of optimism.
