Today I had my latest eye exam....

Updating the progression of prescriptions:

2003: OD -5.00 -1.00 075 OS -8.00
2005: OD -4.25 -1.00 080 OS -7.00 -0.75 045
2006: OD -4.50 -1.00 055 OS -6.50 -1.00 035
2008: OD -5.25 -1.00 060 OS -7.25 -1.00 025
2009: OD -5.00 -0.50 050 OS -7.00 -1.25 030
2010: OD -5.50 -0.75 050 +1.25 OS -7.00 -1.00 040 +1.25
2011: OD -5.50 -0.75 050 +1.50 OS -7.00 -1.00 040 +1.50

Now I'm conflicted...do I get a new pair of glasses this year, to make use of this year's vision insurance benefit. Or wait until next year...where I'll have next year's vision benefit and FSA money available. Or both.

Been thinking sunglasses, the slight change in reading power would make more sense in regular pair....but regular pair is currently fine, though could probably use a spare. Except that again...new pair being slight new script would not be the spare.

Could go new lenses I suppose....and then sunglasses next year?

Probably won't be in a position to decide if there's going to be anything this year until like near Christmas....

Wait...wasn't I supposed to get something retested in my eye exam.... Oh yeah.. I missed a good chunk of my peripheral vision test for the left eye. Wonder if I should worry about it now....

Meanwhile...something else to try for my dry eyes.
