I saw my eye doctor yesterday. The appointment itself was straightforward--masks and hand sanitizer, and they told me which of the two available chairs to sit in while waiting for my eyes to dilate--and everything continues basically well. No change in my eyeglass prescription, though I got a hardcopy in case I need to get a new pair of glasses sometime in the next year.
The slight thickening of my corneas (Fuchs disease) has not gotten any worse, which is good, and unsurprising. (This is one of those conditions that a person can be diagnosed with and then go on without a problem for decades.)
There's a little bit of film on one of the artificial lenses the doctor placed during the cataract surgery. This happens sometimes, and can be fixed via a brief procedure in the doctor's office, but I don't need that this year, and may not ever.
The corneas and the history of optic neuritis (in 1999) are why I didn't ask about postponing this appointment.
My eye doctor now has an office literally around the corner from![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
adrian_turtle's apartment, so I scheduled a visit with Adrian around seeing the doctor. That's partly just convenience--why spend twice as much time on buses?--and partly that while the risk of each trip is low, one round trip is still lower-risk than two.
