Eye Can't See!

I have come upon a very scary moment in my life. You guessed it, it's time for an eye exam to fix my failing eyesight. Lately I have been blind as a bat and I'm not too happy about it. It has gotten to the point that I have even started to squint behind my specs. I'm just hoping after I am done that I don't end up getting glasses that look like Jerry from that episode of Seinfeld where he has to wear the bottlecap frames. But at this point any improvement will be a welcomed one.

My whole future of seeing rests squarely on this eye test, which is a daunting proposition. Everytime I do one of these things I am more nervous than Michael Jackson in a day care. I think back to all the other eye tests I have taken in my life and my stomach toils just thinking about it. The worst part is sticking my head in that machine and making these important decisions and not being sure what the hell I am doing. As the doctor goes back and forth between the different screenshots all the doubt in my head creeps in and I'm never more unsure about anything in my whole life. "The first one. The first one is definately clearer. Wait a minute...maybe it was the second one now that I think about it. Can you go back to the first one again? Ok, now back to the second one. Wait are you sure this was the same second image as before? It looks different. Each one of them is fucking blurry, I can't distinguish between the two! You're killin me doc."

Why do they have to make it so hard to be able to take this test? It's like trying to tell the difference between Mary Kate and Ashley while watching Full House reruns. But I feel so embarrassed asking the doctor to go back and forth between the images that I'm relegated to settling for horrible sight as opposed to looking like a kid who escaped from the short bus because he can't decide which one he can see better.

So here I am again, on the precipice of taking another one of these eye exams that will determine whether or not I am able to look at something further than 20 yards away without having to squint as hard as French Stewart of 3rd Rock from the Sun fame. Wish me luck!
