One eye.

Well, more waffling on eyes….

I sit currently with one eye in, I lost my left contact early today, as I stepped out of the shower, I really thought I had nudged it back in, but later when I stuck my finger in my eyeball, I knew it had gone, no sign of it anywhere, but then I can lose the milk so, meh. It’s not that I poked myself deliberately in the eye, though this is somewhat true, I reached in to rotate my contact into position, aware that something was off, so when I flinched at the eye contact, (little pun here ha) I knew it was out. no doubt I will find it when it has hardened and is useless to me, I usually do.

Luckily today, yes, such good luck, I am having a dizzy day, a leaning tower, with a vomitus mass, (Just realising here I have used the American spelling for this blog, changing it now whoops.) and a little marshmallow I am taking steps that feel as though I have removed one boot with a definite to the right preference. So blurred, undefined vision seems like nothing today, had I noticed in time I would’ve, put in a new one, but too late now.

Still contacts seem better than glasses even with this problem. I wore my glasses for a week as was confined, so to speak, what with the constant cleaning and the glare from light, even with anti-glare, coating, even bleary one eyed me, feels better.

With age comes the need for reading glasses, even with my corrective contacts, I still need reading glasses, I carry a pair in my bag, they have one arm and I rarely bother with them, I prefer instead to squint, if I still can’t read it then I ask a younger person if around, or just ignore, light has much to do with it too, after dark, it’s pointless trying, not only is it harder to see but my eyes and brain are usually too tired to translate the visual information. With this in mind I bought a bigger phone and I increase the text size whenever possible.

There is much to say about the visual disturbances and struggle to see clearly so I am making a note to cover that topic in detail, in ‘symptoms’ soon.

Waffle over,

P.S, quick note:

Today I have two eyes and a fresh pair, my vision has a clarity that almost makes we want to lift my head back, like it is all looming a little close. I am therefore a little starey eyed, my eyes feel wide awake while the rest of me festers in winter mode.
