Just some times when the eyes didn't really want to open. And the contacts would get dried out, so I would switch to glasses.<br /><br />It's certainly an important organ!Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15283395756742923658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2949422246633548404.post-81249575884721613482009-09-07T08:41:45.538+04:002009-09-07T08:41:45.538+04:00I have vision problems off and on....

I can't figure it out.<br /><br />Usually eye drops help for a bit.<br /><br />But I also have "monthly" problems with my vision. No one has been able to explain how female issues impact vision...but it seems to. <br /><br />Stess? Anxiety?<br /><br />And then I always think it must be some sign from God. Seeing and or blindness is always such a sign in Scripture of knowing God's will; being open to His message....Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12623179886908222942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2949422246633548404.post-68261927985374159952009-09-07T06:19:41.533+04:002009-09-07T06:19:41.533+04:00Thanks, Arleen.

It is definitely hard to think of something to give up. <br /><br />I rarely wear sunglasses, so I'll have to think about that one. Of course, in Russia it's not too much of a problem. ;)Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15283395756742923658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2949422246633548404.post-30032021562256202422009-09-07T02:37:52.911+04:002009-09-07T02:37:52.911+04:00I can sympathize with your eye challenges.

Considering how much time I spend reading and on the computer, I am lucky that I don't need glasses. still, my vision is frequently blurry and strained. I know that "something's gotta give" or I will be wearing glasses for the rest of my life. I'm not sure what I can give up, though, considering I do much of my school work on the computer and reading is a big part of my life that I'm unwilling to limit.<br /><br />One step I have been taking is to always bring my shades with me wherever I am going, in case I will be spending time outside.Arleennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2949422246633548404.post-39734734197719856292009-09-06T23:41:41.071+04:002009-09-06T23:41:41.071+04:00I don't remember having the puff of air.
