Just back from the eye doctor. First off, I should have expected them to need to dilate my eyes, but I didn't, because they didn't do it at the last exam I had. But today she said she needed to or I'd have to come back, but that "most people are able to drive after dilation". Well, evidently I'm one that can't. I walked outside and my eyes immediately started tearing up and I couldn't see a blasted thing. So I very carefully navigated us (Jay was with me, fortunately) down the block to the nearest shop, which was Walmart, and we hung out in there until I stopped weeping and could see.
Second off - we have what I consider to be pretty good vision insurance. But the place I went today does not handle "low end" polycarbonate lenses, which apparently are what my eye insurance covers. I ended up not getting to order glasses today because of this, and I was scared to even ASK how much they would want to put prescription sunglass lenses in the Brighton frames I've now had for over seven years. *sigh*. I will admit the Brighton sunglasses came in handy today though. I put them on over my regular glasses to see well enough to drive us home.
