I’ve been a bit behind on keeping up with my posts. Spring in Florida is a wonderful time and I’ve been spending as much time as I can outdoors planting my organic garden and gathering herbs. How I love the Earth! I have always enjoyed gardening, but somehow the energy of it this year is just palpable.
My vision is improving. So much so, that I really need to find an optometrist that will give me a 20/40 prescription. I have an optometrist locally, now I just need to make and appointment and convince him to give me the lesser prescription.
I can no longer wear my contacts. Like Kaplan says, they force me to “stare” which is very unhealthy and only makes vision worse. It is difficult for me to wear glasses in the sunshine and so my most recent glasses have either the transition lenses or a magnetic sunglass that match my frames. So now I’m stuck with my old glasses (the weakest prescription I have here) without any transition or magnetic lens. All that to say, I really really need to get to the optometrist!
My vision over the past two weeks or more has been stagnant. I have found that my diet is directly related to how well I can or can’t see. I’ve been eating a lot of comfort foods lately (I guess losing my dog was a good excuse) and I can tell that it is affecting my vision. I’ve been eating sugar (in ice cream) and wheat (which I rarely eat) and I’ve known that my body doesn’t really like these two things so it’s not really a surprise to find that my eyes don’t either!
Time to get back to the whole foods plan. Lots of raw, lots of monounsaturated fats.
