My eyes are much better. It turned out my prescription stayed the same and rubbing my eye had just temporarily caused the pressure to change in the vitrious fluid, which caused all the wierdness in my vision. But, for weeks there I had to limit my time on the internet (oh, the pain!). Hope your eyes turn out okay, too! Thanks Erin! My eyes are much better.

I was just saying I don't like to do the stepping. ;) And I totally agree with your comment that “discussions” (arguments) on the internet about such things are not usually very productive.

I hope I was not stepping on your toes. Leaving religion out of comments is often a good policy, because it usually leads to unneccessary arguments. Not that religion is not important, or that anyone should <i>hide</i> their religious views... just that "discussions" (arguments) on the internet about such things are not usually very productive. But as far as my comment was concerned, I really just meant to put a twist on a common phrase. ;) Excuse me, Vu! I hope I was not stepping on your toes.

That may be stepping on toes. I prefer to leave religion out of comments. Enlightenment (my definition) = complete understanding and acceptance of ones self. :) No… not godliness.

Thanks for stopping by. I'm glad you shared your story. That's crazy! Now I feel bad for even complaining at all, because your experience sounds about one hundred times worse than mine. I hope your eyes are doing better now!

It might make you feel better to know you aren't the only computer-crazed geek with eye problems. http://delphineous.blogspot.com/2006/02/i-am-vision-impaired.html Whatever you do, don't rub your eyes when they get blurry! Good luck. Hey, I’m not trying to plug my blog or anything, but I had a very similar experience awhile back and blogged about it, too.

And geekiness is only one step away from enlightenment. If 2 eyes are good then 4 eyes must be twice as good right?

I hope I don't have a similar experience. It's hard enough to get into an optometrist that I don't relish the idea of trying to get there while I'm "having" the blurry vision. Ick. Funkyj and Victoria - Lol. That's all I have to say. :) Julien - That’s kind of scary! I hope I don’t have a similar experience.
