I have a new respect for the disabled- for the last two days I've been running around half blind and squinting. On Tuesday I had a consultation for laser correction for my eyes. They had to dilate my eyes, and as a result I was light sensitive, couldn't see anything closer than 6 feet or further than 20, every light source had a halo or whited out my vision. I thought it was neat at first- my eyes were bigger than my cats, we had staring contests all day yesterday.
Back to the point, it took a lot to get used to it. I couldn't drive and I couldn't see a computer screen. Even now, I have to concentrate to see what I'm typing.
I know there is a challenge on the UBBT regarding this- go blind for a day, mute for a day, in a wheelchair for a day. I wasn't even blind, and it was hard. I could still use on my eyes, as fuzzy as they were, but I still had to rely on others for some things. I can only imagine the hardships that come with losing your sight, speech, hearing, ability to move.
On a high note- I will be officially glasses free next Thursday! Whoot!
