Today included a visit to the optometrist. For us, that is an hour’s drive to Oyen, Alberta. Usually a 1-2 hour check-up and then back home.
I had been experiencing what is called “floaters.” Little things that seem to appear in the eye but have nothing to do with the external realities. Mine were just hairline type of apparitions. I guess if there are bright flashes, or falling black globs or other aberrations, that can be dangerous.
In this case, the inside of the eye appears to be fine. I’m in good shape. But just in case, I will need to do some further checking on things like cholesterol.
Unfortunately, it sounds like these floaters can be common. I imagine this is just another part of growing older! So, suck it up and learn to live with it! One step, or is that one eye, at a time!
Yep…I got “floaters” too!
