Really?

So as you are reading this, I'll be on my way to the eye doctor for the FOURTH time in a year. I'd like to point out that every time I've gone, I've had to get a new contact prescription. I mean, really?

Some background info about my eyes:

• Got my 1st pair of glasses in 5th grade (10 years old)
• Dad got glasses in 6th grade (11 years old)
• Dad's eyes have significantly gotten worse---i.e. in 2002 he had a detached retina followed by lens replacement surgery.
• In 2004, Dad receives cataract surgery in left eye, is told he has another cataract in right eye, but not bad enough to remove it with the lens replacement surgery.

Which leads me to today- 4th time in one year (365 days) that I will be marching into my eye doctor's office. I should get a frequent customer card. And, I also blame my father.

If anyone is interested, my prescription going in there today for my contacts in -10.5 in both eyes. I don't know how much worse it can get.

I'll be sure to let you know how it goes when I get back!
