Mine eyes have seen...

...just about every kind of eye test there is, I'd wager. Over the last two days I've had my eye digitally mapped, had photos taken of it, done the standard eye charts, seen tough low-contrast charts, and even tested my NVG acuity. I thought I'd be done yesterday, but there wasn't enough time to complete everything so I went back this morning. They started out by dilating me and then proceeded to repeat a lot of yesterday's tests. Then, just when I thought the testing was over, they sent me to another building at Brooks where another doctor did some of the same tests they had just done next door. Before examining me, he started out by saying they'd found a few "such-and-such" cells in my left eye and oh by the way did I have a history of glaucoma in my family? It was the first time anyone had mentioned glaucoma to me, but when I mentioned I was adopted and don't know my family history he shrugged it off and never mentioned it again.

I think something in these drops must make me tired, because I've just woken up from my third nap today. I feel like I could have a snack and then head right back to sleep, but I think I'll wind up being awake a while.

Nothing much else to report...with my eyes supposed to be dilated 24-48 hours, I can't see anything too close (especially with glasses) and can't see anything too far when I take the glasses off. I'm looking forward to being able to see normally tomorrow.
