leaves the whole world blind
 

I had another eye appointment yesterday, and at the start of every appointment they have me take an eye exam.
the appointment at the beginning of september had gone well - 20/20 in both eyes (with my glasses on).
but when I had to go back at the end of september (when my eye started hurting again) the vision in my right eye was 20/40.
and at the appointment yesterday it was 20/60.
I couldn't even make out the letters on the first slide they showed me.
and my eyes felt fine. I've noticed late in the day I'll have trouble focusing, and it gets worse as the day goes on (budd had to read me a portion of a drive-thru menu the other night).

mr eye doctor says it's nothing to worry about as long as it's coming and going, and that once I'm off drops I may need a new prescription for my glasses.
he also said to take more breaks through out the day to rest my eyes. I'm amused, since my boss is always riding my ass about what I spend my time doing.
