Poor eyesight!

One thing I am was proud of was that my vision is was still clear.  I have never worn glasses in my whole existence.  Never felt any need to because I still see clearly.  I can still read small fonts, I can read texts from far away.  But recently, well – after the new year, well – my vision has been a bit blurred.  Not very very blurred – but just a bit. And it bothers me.  Really bothers me. I used to put whatever I needed to read near my eyes to be able to see them more clearly (if the font is mall) but now – I have to put it at a distance for me to see it better.  What used to be a normal sized font for me to read, is now shadow-y.  Those number countdowns on stoplight?  Blurry. I can’t believe this is happening. I was told that when I hit 40, my vision will for sure be not the same.  In my head I was laughing at the thought.  I am NOT laughing now. So I went to #OwndaysPH – to try and have my eyes checked.  The reason why I went there – it was very well lit.  And I loooooove very well lit places.  Hahaha!  I was impressed with the equipment they were using – also the service.  I sat down in front of a machine to check (a more or less check) of my eye sight, and then when I transferred into the refraction room, I expected to see what I usually saw in the malls – the chair with pieces of lenses on the side!  But what greeted me was a machine, a table and a sort of display.  I sat down – and my goodness, it was so high-tech.  No need for me to do anything but sit, listen to the questions and answer as accurate as possible.  I swear, it was such a pleasant pleasant experience for me. The doctor that was assisting me was very very calm and patient.  He was very accommodating too and his voice, I must say – very soothing and re-assuring.  He was asking questions and patiently doing the changing of the lenses.  I just need to emphasis – that the eyesight check experience in #OwndaysPH – really impressive and really really high tech.  Even Kailee was so curious on what was happening and what I was seeing.  Hahaha!! So the verdict?  Well, according to the *test* I had astigmatism and needed reading glasses.  They recommended a dual lens but it was still up to me if I wanted one.  I told them that my only issue was the reading thing and that I didn’t need to wear glasses all day to function. I am turning 39 in a couple of days, so I guess this is age-ing telling me that I’m not getting any younger.  Well, I’ve long accepted age-ing, but one thing I have a hard time accepting is – blurring vision. I’m still in denial. My Panget has offered to get me glasses, he would always tease me whenever we’re at the mall.  But I told him – I’m still in denial. I might need to though, get glasses.  As I have this headaches – not massive ones, but small one – that I’ve honestly never experienced before. So this is age-ing, huh??
