I woke up this morning with the feeling like my eyelashes were stuck together so I couldn’t see quite right out of my left eye – only they weren’t stuck together at all. My eye was bloodshot, and it hurt. Things seemed gray in the far edge of my vision. If I touched my eye, the gray got worse. I resisted the urge to rub my eye and called the opthamologist. I used to work for him years ago, and I learned back then – you never mess with your eyes.
I was hoping it was just a surface area issue, and I wouldn’t have to be dilated. No such luck. It turns out nothing is wrong, but now I can’t see. I have giant black pupils with little blue rims around them. I hate having my eyes dilated.
Hopefully by tonight I will be able to see again. For now, I’m hanging out in the dark with my sunglasses on. Everything is so bright!

Maybe you would appreciate then when I went for my new glasses. They had to dilate my pupils & it was during my lunch hour and I had no sunglesses. When I walked back outside on what was the sunniest day ever I near died it hurt my eyes so much to keep them open!
Yeah, I did that once too. Forgot to bring sunglasses, and so I wore these lovely paper ones that the opthamologist gave me to wear. My husband came and got me, took me to lunch, and the waiter asked me if I’d just had Lasik done. I wish!
Oh well, glad to hear it wasn’t anything worse.

Sounds like it wasn’t an iritis, which is what I thought of when I heard the initial description. That’s good news! I hope you feel better soon.
REALLY glad to hear that you’re okay. Hope your eyes feel better soon!
Is it wrong that now I want to sing, “I wear my sunglasses at night…” to you?
did you stay up late working on your swaps? i hope your eyes get better, too!
Ayaka sings “Trackback Of Love”
From Tokyo to the world…
In the beginning
Several bloggers are writing a story about a virtual blog of Mr. Saitoh.
He had a daughter named Ayaka. She was 13 years old, loved to playing basketball and sing a song.

Whew. I’m glad all is well. I’ve learned too that you can’t mess with your eyes. Sight is something we take foregranted until we get that brief reminder that we could lose it.
