Hopefully, this newest adjustment of the contact prescription will work.

I’ve not been seeing great for a while - I particularly felt like I was straining with my right eye. So about a week and a half ago I went to the eye doctor and left with the same prescription (different brand of lenses) that I went in with.

Well, because this was a new brand of contacts, I had to go in for a follow up visit. Using what I’ve learned from multiple doctor visits over the years, I postponed, then went in today, mainly because I still felt like I wasn’t seeing as well as I should be, as if the contacts were clouding up way earlier than they should.

This time, I left with lenses that are stronger in the right eye (a jump from -5.50 to -6.00) and weaker in the left (from -5.00 to -4.50). Hopefully these will do the trick. I think I’m seeing better through them.

Yay…I can see!
