Just kidding. It turns out that I’m actually really farsighted in my left eye. And I just found this out yesterday. Went to an eye examination for the first time, and this is the news I get. Psh. This is why I don’t go to eye exams. If it weren’t for my good eye, I wouldn’t be able to see at all.

And even my good eye is slightly far sighted! The nice Vietnamese lady told me that there is no point in getting glasses now since I’ve made it this far in life without them. But eventually, I will need them. I told her that I wouldn’t mind wearing glasses, so she brought out a pair of experimental glasses. The kind that look like a big pair of evil robot eyes with removable lenses. Tried a few of the lenses on and found out that they actually helped. And they felt kinda relaxing for my eyes, as well. So I’ve decided that I will get glasses. I could do without them. Really, I could. I mean, my good eye is pulling the weight for both my eyes, but how long can he keep it up?

But yes. I really can’t read at all with my left eye. Even now, as I type this I’m covering my right eye and trying to read what’s on the screen. I can sorta make out the letters, but I wouldn’t be able to read them coherently. And it’s worse the more I move back. Meh, it looks like I’m going to be completing the geek stereotype once I get my glasses. Thank goodness I already went through the braces phase. Fear of the sun can’t be too far behind, though.
