Back from the eye doc. just a bunch of astigmatism in my left eye. He was surprised that I don't have any farsightedness as is common in people of my anecdotage. He did recommend bifocals, since I could "crisp up" (my words) a bit. I think the reading addition is about 1x. The left eye was pretty wacked out.

The visit plus the specs put a small dent in the construction budget, not so small that a luna moth wouldn't notice...

He also said that I should have my cholesterol checked. People with high cholesterol have a ring of fat around their cornea, though not all people with a ring around their corneas have high cholesterol.

So, another trip to another doc.

And of course, I am going to take advantage of our country's marvelous healthcare plan. Ohh whoa. I thought I was in Canada. I meant to say I am self insured.

Still, what I've spent on doctors and meds in the past 20 years wouldn't add up to three months of health insurance premiums.
