The eyes are the windows to the soul
— a proverb and some science
I went to my annual eye check up yesterday and learned that it’s time for progressive lenses!
Progressive lenses help you to see both far away and close up, all with the same pair of glasses.
A few years ago, this phoropter was made in cool colors like blue and orange.
This is a photo of the inside of my eye. The white spot is the retinal "cup" at the back of the eye, where the optic nerves go to the brain.
The optometrist can compare a new photo with one taken years ago to see if there are any changes to the inside of the eye.
Because I am getting progressive lenses, the centers of my lenses are marked to align with my pupils.
I used to wear contacts, but I had to stop because they were negatively impacting the health of my eyes.
My new glasses should be ready by the start of school!
