My Eye Doctor Wants Me to Move

Since being back in school I noticed my eyes are not quite I had hoped so I went to get new glasses and took an eye exam today. Seems my eyes have gotten worse since starting law school. Oh well. Anyhow, during the exam the Dr. said, “Hmmm.” “This looks bad, hold still let me see.” Um, these are all scary things coming from your eye doctor. I scratched my cornea Memorial Day (I'll write about that later - I have a picture) weekend and now I am really afraid of anyone touching my eyes. Then she asked me if I had a cat. I have never been a cat person but my roommate has a cat that I battle with trying to keep out of my room because I am allergic to cats.

My doctor told me I really need to be careful with the cat because my eyelids look terrible. She showed me what a healthy eyelid looks like and then what my eyelid looks like because of the cat and it’s pretty gross. I am not going to lie. She said there are worse people but that I am just going to get worse. Then, she said she doesn’t understand why people like me do this to myself. Now, I don’t really have a choice in the matter because it is not my cat. The long and short of it is she suggested I get a special collar for the cat so that when the cat crosses into my room it gets a little buzz so it learns not to go in my room anymore. Kind of like an invisible fence for dogs. I wonder who thinks all these things up. It’s pretty wild. I bet they are rich.
