Seeing Life Through a New Lens

When I went to the eye doctor’s office for the very first time, a surge of emotions washed over me. I felt a mix of excitement and nervousness, but ultimately, joy took over. The anticipation of finally addressing my vision concerns filled me with a sense of hope.

When the doctor greeted and looked me over, diagnosing my condition, I cried. This moment marked the beginning of a new chapter in my life, one where I could finally see the world with more visual clarity.

I had been aware for a time that my vision was not functioning as it should. Prior to, I experienced various unsettling symptoms, including bouts of dizziness, a persistent loss of focus, and frequent blurriness that made it difficult to see clearly. Additionally, I suffered from intense dry eyes that often left me feeling uncomfortable, along with recurring migraines that added to my frustration. These ongoing issues were significantly impacting my daily life, so I am glad to now finally remedy it.

The optometrist, Sarah, immediately recognized that my eyes needed serious attention. After conducting thorough tests at the clinic, she confirmed that my main issues were multiple astigmatisms and near and far sightedness.

This past year and a half has been a journey of significant growth and healing for both the children and myself. My son has finally received the assistance he needs for his asthma, which brings me great relief, and my youngest daughter has her very own pair of glasses as we keep a close eye on her potential glaucoma.

If you’re experiencing any worries about your vision, please trust your instincts and reach out to an eye doctor. Taking that step can make a world of difference in your life, just as it has for my family.

Now, as I navigate the familiar and not familiar places, I find myself truly savoring the beauty not before seen in such sharpness and clarity. I am being able to look at screens without eye strain and read books without blurriness. I am glad I am able to see those around me and the world as it should be.
