Peer Presure

Okay so blogging is new to me and I figured i’d try it because I was peer pressured into it. I guess i’ll just write about what happened today. I told my mom last night about a shiny arc of light that I see sometimes that is usually followed by a headache which all goes through in about 30 minutes. This morning she called the eye doctor out of town about getting a new perscription and she mentioned what I told her. Around 11 o’clock she came to my gym class to take me to the eye doctor because they say that this could be serious and a specialist should check it out right away. When we got to the clinic they tested my sight to test what perscription I needed and told me what they think could be a possible issue with my eye. It was possible I could have a detached retna and to be honest my mom was way more frightened by this than I was. The doctor gace me some eye drops that dilate my eyes (make my pupils open real wide so they can check my retna). While I was waiting for the eye drops to kick in I was just watching some interesting T.V. about eyes, glasses and all sorts of eye related stuff which was kind of interesting. After the doctor was ready for me I went back into his room and he shined a super bright light into my new super light-sensitive eyes which was very inconveinient and unenjoyable. Turns out there is now retnal detachment and I am just suffering from what is called, “Ocular Migraines.” If you are curious what this is just visit this link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_migraine. Well that about sums up my day, thanks for reading.
