Contact

This isn't the Jodi Foster movie, but it basically lasted as long. I'm talking about the length of time it takes me to put in one of my contacts.

I visited the optometrist a few days back to get my annual eye exam. These days, I'm pretty much convinced that med school is ruining my vision, so I fully expected news that I needed new glasses. For kicks, I also decided to get a contact lens exam.

Well, come to find out, my vision hasn't gotten worse. (Really?... I'm skeptical.) I did, however, get a new contact prescription--for one that corrects less, not more. According to this optometrist, my lenses (same prescription for both eyes) had been overcorrecting for one of my eyes, and it's better to undercorrect rather than overcorrect. Surprise?...
