Glasses vs. Contacts

Today has been a boring day. I have been working on my summer reading projects basically all day. I suddenly got the hiccups about ten minutes ago and they are horrible! I don't understand how people could possibly stand to live with these for over a day! Anyways, I decided to take a break and make a blog post about something strange that happened this morning.

I woke up to go to the eye doctor because I needed to get a new prescription for my contacts. I got there and the doctor person asked me if I could read the letters on the screen with my glasses, which I could do just fine. Then he had me take off my glasses so he could use the thingy to determine what my new prescription. It had been set to my old prescription so he assumed I could see fine with it. The strange this is, I couldn't see a thing! He went through and changed the prescription so it would suit my needs. He had one of the ladies that worked there get the contacts in the new prescription. I put them in and he tested my vision with them on. My right eye was fine, but my left eye was all messed up. He had the same lady get a higher prescription for my left eye, which conveniently matched my right eye. I changed the contact in my left eye out for the new one and I could see perfectly. With contacts my prescription is -5.25 in both eyes, but with glasses my prescription is  -5.00 in my left eye and -5.25 in my right. My eyes refuse to make things simple for me.

Anyways, it took me maybe 10 minutes to write all this and I still have my hiccups!
