I finally saved enough money for glasses. It's been 5 years since I got new ones. I have really bad vision and they were $800 (progressive lenses with a high index, and Transitions for light sensitivity). The problem is that the doctor found a new artery in my left optic nerve and he referred me to an eye surgeon. My optometrist said it might be from high blood pressure or it might be a clot or who knows what. Eye surgery scares me silly. It's top of my list of things I'm squeamish about. I hope I don't have to wait too long to see the surgeon. I know I'll worry until I see him. Worrying is one of the things I do best. Thank goodness my BP2 is almost stable now.
