  1. @Cetraria Unusual. I had oddness when I wore contacts, but only in one eye or the other. I've had my lenses replaced, and one eye is getting progressively better (the doc swears it wasn't intentional, but it's happening, anyway). But that's me, and it's not sudden.

    It doesn't sound like it's just in one eye. That's different from my vision challenges.

    Maybe we have an #optometrist or #opthalmologist on Mastodon to help. I think I'd get to an optometrist asap to run tests, and to an opthalmologist if nothing is found.

    Maybe you have an infection causing pressure some antibiotic would clear up. Fingers crossed that it's trivial. 🤞 And good luck!

  9. I took a pic of the Phoropter while waiting for the optometrist. I've got an updated eyeglass prescription and next comes the hard part: shopping for new frames

  13. Fehlende #Fachärzte werden bei uns langsam wirtschaftlich relevant. Warum? Hilfesuchende kommen zu uns traditionellen #Augenoptiker*Innen in der Hoffnung, dass wir ihre medizinischen Probleme lösen. Selbst die klinischen #Optometrist*Innen unter uns, die es könnten, dürfen das in Deutschland aber nicht. So entsteht unbezahlte Arbeit und die Kund*Innen müssen wir wieder wegschicken. Das geht mir zusehends auf den Sender 😡

  23. Van Gogh wasn't big on ear health, but he never missed an eye appointment. I got checked out, bought contacts, and waded through the glasses. I STILL need to replace my college frames and lenses.

  28. Yesterday afternoon I had my eyes examined, it being two years since my last test. I went with some trepidation because for the past several visits to the optometrist have resulted in a new prescription and the consequent need to fork out a not inconsiderable amount of dosh on new spectacles. I wear varifocals as I have both astigmatism (which primarily affects long-distance vision) and the usual problem at close range for people of my age. Varifocal lenses are rather expensive but do work pretty well for me. Since I’m now a member of the Over-Sixties Club I just assumed there would be steady deterioration from now on.

    Every time I go to the opticians they seem to have different kit and a different procedure, but this time – to my surprise – the result was the same as last time: no change in prescription and therefore no need to buy new glasses. It was good to learn that my vision is relatively stable. I’m set for the next two years, unless I lose or break my specs and need to replace them.

    Before the eye test itself I had a retinal exam which involved taking a picture of the back of my eye. This wasn’t carried out by the optometrist but by an assistant, but the resulting photographs were delivered magically onto the optometrist’s computer screen and shown to me. It turns out my eyes are reasonably healthy. Indeed the picture of my retina has hardly changed since the one from two years ago

  30. Apparently it’s atypical for moving your eyes to hurt. Or moving your head suddenly. Or find text of any size and colour combination blurry regardless of correct prescription!

    I will be asking Ortho K guy about this. And / or specsavers.

  31. The latest upsell at the #optometrist is "myopia control" lenses for kids.

    The idea is to slow the progression of #myopia (nearsightedness). About $300 more per pair. Gotta wear them till at least 18 starting at age 8-12.

    But if your kid's like mine & might only need them sometimes... you now HAVE to wear them all the time.

    They also reduce your peripheral vision through the lenses.

    And at $300 per pair, say you buy new ones every couple years, that's around $1500 more.

  36. PSA to all #COVID cautious fellow travellers:

    Don't wear an elastomeric respirator to an eye exam. There's so little room between my face and optometric machinery, that they kept bumping up against my elastomeric. The #optometrist had to resort to old fashioned backups. #COVID19
