20/800

I went to my eye doctor this morning for a routine exam.

I don't need new glasses this year, which is a very good thing for my wallet. The last time I got a new pair was when I finally had to make the move to bifocals. I got progressive lenses, with the anti-glare and the special "non-coke-bottle-look" technology. It cost me a small fortune.

I asked my eye doctor today what my "vision" was. I knew that it would not be 20/20.

Her response was, "Oh, probably something like 20/800. It's pretty bad."

I guess I'm off the charts!

Yep. I feel like I need a stronger reading perscription, but, having JUST (ok, a year or so ago) gotten used to these progressive lenses, I am too chicken to want to do all THAT again!
