truepennyOphthalmologist appointment this morning--my eyes have not changed in any significant fashion. Hurrah!
Also, they used one drop of the dilation drops, and gave me these reversal drops afterwards, and four hours later my eyes are practically back to normal. Hurrah!
(Though with an odd side-effect. Once of the problems related to ocular albinism is nystagmus, and one of the effects of nystagmus is that a person's eyes have to refocus every time she blinks. Normally, I can't observe this in myself, but the drops have slowed down my eyes' reaction time sufficiently that I notice. It is très weird.
Fortunately,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mirrorthaw was driving.)
We also discovered that the little optician's located in the waiting room of the ophthalmologist is now carrying the sort of sunglasses that go over one's regular sunglasses, only compact enough and light enough that I can wear them--having very little bridge to my nose, I've previously found that type of sunglasses brilliant in principle but useless in practice. But Fitovers are Teh Shiny. Hurrah!
So I am only slightly headachy from eye strain. Hurrah!
In celebration/reward, we went to Borders, where I scored Blood & Iron, The Lies of Locke Lamora, Air, and the first season of Slings and Arrows. Borders is displaying bothscott_lynch and matociquala with quite reasonable degress of respective prominence. Hurrah!
And I came home to find my contributor's copies of The Best of the Rest 4 waiting for me. Hurrah!

Date: 2006-06-30 07:50 pm (UTC)I do find that when I have dilation drops in, my focus-point changes: I become more farsighted (i.e., my vision is better) than it actually is. Which is pretty strange, and possibly a precursor to how I will spend my middle years: holding the book away from my face to read. The other fun side-effect of course is looking like a crazed possum for several hours. (I've never tried the reversal drops.) It's the kind of cool that, I'm just as happy it happens only once a year.
