Allie+Gets+Her+Eyes+Checked+For+Glasses

Today I was sure I was getting glasses because I was as blind as a bat! But for about two months I couldn’t see things far away from me. For example, I couldn’t see the class room board. But today I was FINALLY getting my eyes checked.

My mom and I went to the eye doctor and had to wait in the waiting room.In the waiting room there wasn't very much people but, but there where a lot of glasses. There was a corner just to get your frames and then in another area was the chairs where we were waiting. Then I got called for my turn to go see my eye docter and we went into a small, dark room where I would be getting my eyes checked. There was a hudge machine that had about fifty different glass plates on it. I t was like a spider with 50 eyes, and lucky me. . . I got to try them all out.

My eye doctor is kind of coo-coo, because when she said her name she started to poke me! But after that she got down to work. First she told me to look at this chart on the wall. I did and I couldn't see the bottom row, I think it was like DR3W1 or something like that but I knew it wasn't because I couldn't see it.

Second she said that I was to follow her in to this room where they would show me the letters close up. I could see the close letters fine but as they got smaller they got more smudged. When we went back in to the dark room there was another nurse with some papers for my mom to sign.

Then my eye doctor gave me some eye drops to make my eyes dilated, and guess what. . . the next 5-10 minutes I couldn't see anything!!! When you get you're eyes dilated it's not fun at all! I couldn't read, watch T.V. close up or even see my mom that was across the room! But after that my eye doctor told me I needed glasses!

I was so excited! But here is the part I don’t get. . . when my eyes just got really blurry from the dilation drops my eye doctor said I needed to go get my frames! Umm, Hello!?!? my eyes are dilated. . . I can’t see my own reflection! I could but it was just blurry. But I had to get my frames, so I had to look at them from a mile away.

I finally found my way to the frames section and looked around. There were big glasses, small glasses, red glasses, and white glasses. I had so much to choose from! So I looked in the part of the store where the glasses would fit my head and nose. It took about 20 minutes before I found the par the I loved! They where brown with a long rectangle hole on the side. My mom also liked them to, so we got them.

When we paid for the glasses I had to get these special sunglasses so my eyes wouldn't hurt sense they where still dilated. My eye doctor said the glasses would come in about 4-5 days. I couldn't wait!
