Four eyed good…

I got a pair of reading glasses made when I last went back to Singapore. I was having problems reading for extended periods and found that I had to squint to see calibri font 11 (a favourite and oft used font) on my computer screen.

The diagnosis was astigmatism in left eye with mild long sightedness in both.

Crikey. Only geriatrics wear reading glasses, I thought. Oh well, just make and keep (in a secret hinding place) the pair and use only when absoutely necessary.

I have resisted wearing them, but with readings piling up and work to be done, it is talking a toll on my poor eyes again. I was wondering if the time it took (one day) for me to complete my 4 page summary on hypo and hypercalcaemia was as a result of pure procrastination or the slowing of my mental faculties, till I caught myself hunched over leaning forward trying to see what was on my computer screen.

Bollocks. Bollocks. Bollocks.

Guess I can’t fight it anymore.

Med school, you bastard, you took away my 6/6 vision.
